Veratrum fimbriatum, False Hellebore Size:.42 qt Very drought-tolerant once establishedA rare species native to the shaded, moist coastal slopes of Mendocino and Sonoma Counties in California. Pleated leaves rise elegantly, giving way to branched flower stems, each adorned with ethereal white blooms, each petal finely feathered at the edge. Carrying itself with a delicate grace that belies its toughness, this veratrum endures both extreme heat and cold, blooming boldly from summer into late fall when much of the garden has gone quiet.
