Veratrum album is a tall herbaceous perennial plant with alternate, pleated leaves. The flowers are white, marked with green on the top portion of the stalk. The fruit is a small pod containing winged seeds. The stout, simple stems are 50–175 cm (20–69 in) tall. The plants have an estimated lifespan of several centuries and often achieve dominance in wild areas as they are unpalatable to grazing herbivores.

How to Care for the Plant
Water
Keep the soil evenly moist while hellebore is growing and flowering. Water less after flowering is finished. Yellow leaves are caused by overwatering.
Fertilizer
Feed monthly year-round with a balanced water-soluble fertilizer.
Sunlight
Put your potted hellebore plant where it will get partial or filtered sunlight. Indirect morning sun and afternoon shade will suit it fine.
