Green-flowered Helleborine is a rhizomatous perennial herb typically found in sparsely vegetated, shaded places on dry, acidic, humus-poor substrates. Habitats include Fagus woods on flinty clays or sandstones, Pinus and Betula scrub on the Bagshot sands, Corylus coppice on sandy alluvium, and on sand dunes (P. D. Carey & T. D. Dines in Preston et al, 2002).
In Norfolk, most of the records for Green-flowered Helleborine are to the west of Norwich in secondary woodlands on the Wensum Sands, but it has also been recorded at Santon Downham, Lolly Moor near Dereham, Holt and Geldeston.
