Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant is an interspecific hybrid, created by crossing the species H. niger, H. argutifolius, and H. lividus. The variety forms upright, mounded bushes with dark green evergreen foliage. Depending on growing conditions, the bush height is from 15 to 30 cm, with a width of up to 60 cm.

Flowering begins early, from November. The flowers are large, with coloration from white and cream-white to yellowish-green, sometimes with a pinkish tint. The plant adapts to various soil types and prefers partial shade, but possesses increased tolerance to sunlight compared to other Helleborus species.

The variety is characterized by high resistance to adverse winter weather conditions. Due to its compactness and decorative qualities, it is widely used as a high-quality pot culture and plant for landscape design.
