Actaea (Baneberry)

Actaea, commonly known as Bugbane or Black Cohosh, is a stately perennial admired for its tall, graceful spires of bottlebrush-like flowers and its bold, deeply divided foliage. The flowers, which appear in late summer to early fall, are typically white or creamy white and emit a sweet fragrance that attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies. The dark, often purplish-green foliage adds a dramatic contrast to shaded gardens and woodland settings, making Actaea a standout feature in any landscape. Thriving in partial to full shade and moist, well-drained soil, Actaea is well-suited for adding vertical interest and a touch of elegance to shaded borders and naturalistic plantings. These hardy plants are also deer-resistant and relatively low-maintenance, providing a long-lasting display of blooms and foliage with minimal care.
