Hi Duane,
Your Helleborus X hybridus probably just needs time. They form their flower buds in the Summer months. my guess is that your hybrid hellebore had a little stress during transplanting. When this happens, they put all their energy into producing roots and foliage.

Hope that helped?

Duane,

Bruce is spot on. I grow a lot from selected hand pollinated seed with specific crosses. I line my seedlings out for 2years until I see first bloom, then transplant those I want for myself before lifting and potting the others. Probably 50% of those that have had a single bloom prior to lifting and potting will be blind the next year whereas most of the ones I transplant are OK. The lifting and potting process is a lot more stressful and sets the plants back a bit more than the careful transplanting.
