Received as seeds from the self-proclaimed (and rightly so) "Veratrum Guru" Christoph Ruby, these plants originate from a now long devastated patch of habitat in the Balkans. Luckily careful stewardship by the esteemed gardeners of Hof Botanic has ensured the preservation and indeed proliferation of their genetics. The var. flavum has been the victim of taxonomic erasure but is kept here to denote the vibrant yellow-green flowers in this strain. The usual lush pleated foliage, deer resistance, and imposing size combined with provenance you can't help but feel good about make these a winner in a moist spot with a bit of shade.
