Veratrum fimbriatum, False Hellebore Size:.42 qt Sometimes it is sold underA 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.
