Actaea simplex ‘Hillside Black Beauty’ (Bugbane)

 

 

 

 

 

Soaring fragrant blooms make this a must have selection for the shaded garden. The compound and deeply cut foliage is deep purple with a reddish-copper tint and creates a stunning accent against the greens of a shaded area. Uniquely fragrant, the fall bloomer sends out tall flowering stems studded with pink blooms. Synonymous with Cimicifuga simplex ‘Hillside Black Beauty’.
