Hellebore, Black
- Product number: 355710
- Origin: Eurasia
- Latin: Veratrum nigrum
The large, Hosta-like leaves have striking veins, making them appear pleated. Give them a moist, shady spot. The long, 1.5-2m high stems are full of black-red flowers. This perennial plant flowers after several years. In short: fascinating, but also dangerous! This ancient medicinal herb looks beautiful, but contains toxic alkaloids. Knowing this, you can enjoy the plant.
