Acidic / Clay / Heavy / Moist / Well Drained / Light / Sandy
Veratrum album is a handsome hardy perennial primarily grown for its clumps of bold foliage and branched creamy white flowers, which appear in summer and attract pollinating insects.
It grows well in moist, rich soil, so makes a great partner to plants that grow well in similar conditions, like persicarias and monardas.
For best results, grow Veratrum albumin moist, deep, humus-rich and well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade.
