Hi Lynn,
For your climate, I would consider any Helleborus x hybridus to be easy, although most hellebores are quite easy and tough.
If your not picky, just go somewhere nearby and see what they have. I think H. foetidus is easy and underappreciated too. In the middle of winter it is one of my favorites.
Also, you are not extremely far from two places that are notable when it comes to hellebores: Sunshine Farm & Gardens in West Virginia and Pine Knot Farms near the Virginia-NC border. There are certainly many others as well. For example Windy Hill Plant Farm in Aldie, Va (maybe not far from you?) carries plants from a famous British breeder. I hope this helps. I'm sure you will be happy with any healthy plant you find.

Thanks Joseph for the information. I live a half an hour from Windy Hill so I will go see what Karen has. I love H. foetidus so maybe I will start with one of those. I have another question which I will post I hope to hear from you again.
