ViV ® tone label"Before we look back on a successful time of year , let ’s put the sensation of this blog in the spotlight : our Hellebore . The last plant are now blooming in the garden , then they go into " summer hibernation " until September . Microflor establish the ViV Helleborus label several years ago . Meanwhile , a collecting of some sixty hellebore varieties propagated only via tissue paper culture . This cast us in the quality segment of the market . We take ample time , a lower limit of three years , to test the quality and do so at three locations . "

" In the first selection , we have a well - labialize list of criteria the variety must meet . These admit blossom richness , industrial plant construction , leaf quality , length of efflorescence , and so much more .

On average , seven month for the earliest varieties ( fall flowering ) and eleven months for the afterward flowering varieties ( saltation flowering ) . And they must flower for a longsighted metre , i.e. , more than three months . Only in the 2nd stage is the variety quick for the wider market . Provided always that all lights remain greenish in the assessments . An additional condition is that there is a friction match between the variety and the raiser . Because not every variety just haphazardly allow for a cultivator . "
