The term Helleborus Gold Collection®, abbreviated HGC, contains different varieties of Helleborus niger and hybrids, which are all propagated vegetatively. The varieties of the Helleborus Gold Collection® are special because the majority of the Hellebores in the market are seedlings and not genetic equal plants. The HGC varieties guarantee variety identity and uniformity because of the propagation method.

Each HGC variety must pass stringent criteria over several years before they are received into the Helleborus Gold Collection®. Only one of approximately 100,000 seedlings meets our high breeding standard and find it’s way into the collection. The Helleborus Gold Collection® stands for the noblest of plants. They have proven over time to be the best of their species.
