Green false hellebore presents as a stately perennial herb with a robust, erect stem that can top 6 feet (183 cm) in height. Its leaves are large, broadly oval to elliptical in shape, and they clasp the stem in an alternating fashion, enveloping it at their base. This imposing greenery culminates in verdant-bracted inflorescences that carry small star-shaped flowers, typically a rich green - a distinct characteristic among blooms. The flowers cluster at the top of the plant, creating lofty, narrow pyramidal to conical arrays. Cautious handling is advised, as every part of this plant contains potent toxins.
