Helleborus orientalis Hygge™ Sven

A stunning white with plum edges

Introducing the Hygge™ Series.We are proud to be featuring our first Het Wilgenbroek Helleborous orientalis selections from tissue culture. What does that mean? That means no more seed strains, and irregular germination or flower patterns. Each and every plant will look like the picture and that is super exciting. And why Hygge? Well, each fall, these plants set flower buds that will sleep until they emerge on the first sunny, warm winter day. Until they emerge, they are tucked into the plant, and often covered by snow, nice a cozy. Hygge is the Swedish word for staying cozy and warm during the Nordic winters. Sven is a sweet new selection with crisp white flowers sporting a deep a deep plum overlay, plum picoted edging and a lime green center make for a stunning combination. Sven grows a bit more slowly and does not begin flowering until January, but it is totally worth the wait.
