Oh, forgot! I'm in the southern Sweden! Saaz seems a little boring (= I see they call it noble but at the same time that must mean common (=
Saaz isn't boring, it's fantastic! "Noble" just refers to specific lineages of low-bitterness western European hops, it's basically a marketing term. It definitely doesn't mean that they're common or to be overlooked. In fact, if you're interested in brewing lagers like pilsners, Saaz would be the perfect choice.
There is lot of things that go in the growing hops - clima, soil, water conditions. For Sweden I would chose some not too bitter variety - Czech or German. But you have to look up what is available for you.
