Helleborine AMETHYST is a new variety of perennial herbaceous plant bred in the Baikal region and recognized for its stable yield of raw materials and seeds. The plants grow from 15 to 35 cm in height, with a width reaching 50–60 cm. The plant is characterized by high resistance to climatic conditions, good adaptation to various soil types, and pest resistance.
