A very dark, vigorous, black leaved new form. Worth growing for the foliage alone. Very fragrant flowers in September and October. Height when in flower up to 2m. Plant at 60cm centres in fertile soil, they tend to hate thin alkaline soils.
A stellar performer of the plant world - fantastic foliage, an architectural frame and late flowers on lofty strong stems. Actaea thrive in shade and partial shade, although they dislike boggy conditions. They look wonderful at the back of borders and associate beautifully with ferns, Tiarellas and Japanese anemones. They won't thrive in very alkaline and well drained soils. They are in the buttercup family and need similar conditions to most other members of this diverse family. All parts of the plants are poisonous and gloves need to be worn when handling.
Member of the Ranunculaceae family. A clump-forming perennial with black pinnate leaves and pink spike forming flowers Jul-Sep. Height 60cm. Spread 40cm. Herbaceous.
