    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Our native False Hellebore which we see in the Cascades. Fabulous foliage plant with big rounded pleated leaves. When old enough, this shoots a flower stalk up to 6' with lots of small whitish starry flowers. Best in light shade or no afternoon sun. Loves a rich moist soil and deer proof.
