Veratrum virginicum

March 22, 2018 By

Category: Seminum | Sub-Category: Wildflowers

Scientific Name (Genus/Species): Veratrum virginicum

Family: (Melanthiaceae)

(P) to 4′.  Virginia Bunchflower.  Eastern North America.  This garden-worthy native forms dense clumps of narrow, yellowish green, grass-like leaves up to 20 inches in length. Many panicles of creamy white flowers are comprised of six spreading tepals, six stamens with white filaments, three white styles and a light greenish yellow ovary.  At the base of each tepal are two conspicuous glands that are yellowish green and secrete nectar.  As the flowers age they change in colour from creamy white, through greenish to yellow. Flowers are replaced by ovoid-lanceolate seed capsules that are the most decorative in the genus.  This plant was a star performer on our Order Beds this year.  Happiest in moist, fertile soil.  Full to partial sun.  3 & T1 & Δ

*Tip: If germination does not occur after 3-4 weeks, place seed pans in a cool location (about 40°) for 2-4 weeks
