VERATRUM SEEDS

The Veratrum genus, commonly known as False Hellebore or Corn Lily, is a striking and robust member of the Melanthiaceae family. These herbaceous perennials are celebrated for their large, pleated, lance-shaped leaves and tall flower spikes adorned with clusters of small, star-shaped flowers in shades of green, yellow, or brown, which bloom in midsummer. Veratrum adds bold structure and drama to damp meadows, woodland gardens, and naturalistic plantings.

Native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, Veratrum thrives in moist, rich, well-drained soils and partially shaded to sunny locations. These plants are well-suited to gardens with consistent moisture and bring architectural interest to wildflower and shade gardens. Popular species such as Veratrum viride, or Green False Hellebore, and Veratrum album, or White False Hellebore, are admired for their striking foliage and unique flower displays.

The Veratrum genus combines beauty, resilience, and ecological value, making it an excellent choice for gardeners seeking distinctive, moisture-loving plants that add height and texture to their landscapes. Note: all parts of Veratrum plants are toxic and should be handled with care.
