Veratrum nigrum - look Siris

Green! Not the flowers...me.

Haha you said it would enjoy the shade

I must give mine a talking to. I've had it about 5 years now.

It’s a long time to wait for a perennial to flower

Just looked at mine carefully, no flowers forming, but there are side plantlets forming, so given a good watering and a dressing of my special compost.

Fingers crossed

Not this year, I think.

Oooo that looks interesting !

Dawn, there's shade, then there's deeeep shade, which is where mine is, too dark.

Kathy, it's a nice architectural plant.
Siris, you'll never guess what, mine seems to have white flowers, Veratrum album, I bought it as nigrum lol, I must take another picture

Oh, yes a picture of the open flowers would be good. The leaves do look the same on these Veratrum, shame that you got sent an album, not the rarer nigrum.

It was from Beth Chatto garden centre, yes annoying, I had a conversation with them following purchase that it arrived in a pot size smaller than advertised, when I know for definite I will message them.

A good nursery like Beth Chatto should sort that one.
