how to create xpath usingdiv tag, textarea and placeholder

I have the following code of HTML:

<div class="uk-form-row"> 
<textarea ng-model="attribute.description[0].text" 
cols="30" rows="3" placeholder="Description" class="uk-form-width-medium ng-
pristine ng-valid ng-touched chromeXpathFinder chromeXpathFinder0">
 </textarea> 
</div>

I tried to create the following xpath but it doesn't work:

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@class='uk-form-row']//textarea[@placeholder='Description']")).sendKeys("Hello description");

Could you please guide me on the right solution?

The exception it throws is : 

Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.ElementNotVisibleException: element not visible

Try this xpath

//textarea[@placeholder='Description'][@class='uk-form-width-medium ng-
pristine ng-valid ng-touched chromeXpathFinder chromeXpathFinder0']

Try this too

 //textarea[@placeholder='Description']

Use some wait until your element get visible and then send the text Use ExplicitWait like below

WebElement description = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@class='uk-form-row']//textarea[@placeholder='Description']"));

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver,60);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOf(description));
description.sendKeys("Text");
