White Hellebore

From LoveToKnow Garden

White Hellebore (Veratrum) - V. album is a handsome erect pyramidal perennial, 3 1/2 to 5 feet high, with large plaited leaves and yellowish-white flowers in dense spikes on the top of the stem, forming a large panicle. The root is exceedingly poisonous. V. nigrum has more slender stems, narrower leaves, and blackish-purple flowers. V. viride resembles V. album, except that its flowers are green. S. californicum has stout stems of 5 to 7 feet, with branched and tapering spikes of greenish-white bell-shaped flowers, followed by ornamental fruits. Division. These plants do best in moist half-shady places in the wild garden, rarely attaining their full beauty in dry sun-scorched soils. France.
