Helleborus orientalis 'Mixed Hybrids'

Sowing method: First, 6-8 weeks in a warm and humid spot (seed swells), then 4-8 weeks with the seed tray in the refrigerator; an hour of frost is beneficial (germination hormones are activated). Sometimes the seeds even germinate in the refrigerator. Afterwards, place them in a warmer spot, but not warmer than 10° C. If germination does not occur, repeat the cycle. Sowing directly into the ground is also an option; just let winter pass over them, and germination will occur in spring.
