A true flower bomb: ViV® Olivia - Helleborus x Ericsmithii

A true flower bomb: ViV® Olivia - Helleborus x Ericsmithii
Innovation

ViV® Olivia, a distinctive Hellebore variety, offering a unique combination of long-lasting flowering, seasonal colour variation and environmental consciousness - making it a charming and enduring choice for plant enthusiasts.

Undergoing a captivating colour transformation from pink buds to creamy-white flowers and dark pink flowers, ViV® Olivia adds visual appeal month after month. Thanks to the beautiful plant build-up and huge amount of flowers, ViV® Olivia is called “the flower bomb”.
Beyond aesthetics, it is a sustainable choice, attracting bees as an early pollinator.

She flourishes in various applications; in pots (15 to 17 litre) on outdoor terraces and in semi-shade garden spots. She boasts an impressive shelf life with a five-month blossoming period. ViV® Olivia is well-suited for easy gardening even in freezing temperatures. Tested for disease resistance, it emerges as a perennial favourite year after year.
