Hellebores - what should I be doing?

Mine are still flowering but looking around I've seen other gardeners removing most or all leaves - should i be doing that now?
what about seeds from the flowers for next year - what should I be doing to propagate these lovely plants

 

Leaves on H. x orientalis are usually removed in February, so if yours are still healthy leave them alone and only remove any obviously dying or diseased ones. All the other Hellebores should have their leaves left alone (unless damaged etc.)
If you want seeds then let the flowers carry one and they will produce far more than you need. When the pods begin to split, either let the seeds fall where they will and get the seedlings next Spring, or collect them and sow straight away. Keep them moist and rodent free and they usually germinate the following Spring. No heat needed or indeed is desirable.
They all dislike root disturbance, but if you have clumps big enough to split, then this is done September/October time as they form new roots over winter.

 

I just remove the winter damaged ones, brown and yucky type. Then I never touch them again until next January or February.

 

I tend to do as suggested above, just remove the leaves that start going brown. I leave the flowers on but haven't collected any seeds yet but i have dug up and potted on some seedlings in previous years and given them to my parents and neighbours for their gardens and they're thriving now.

 

Thanks one and all for your advice.
