Veratrum nigrum

Usually considered the most horticulturally desirable of the bunch, this is grown as much for the fabulous pleated unfurling foliage in spring as for the branched inflorescences of deep blackish-red flowers. Height 1 - 1.5m. For retentive soil in semi-shade, though in cooler regions full sun is fine. These are from a selected fine form. Very slow to raise from seed!
