Black cohosh, Black snakeroot, Bugbane (Actaea)
Color Name: White Pearl
Nice back of the border plant or in open woodland settings. Use where fragrance can be appreciated.
Performs best in moist, organic-rich soil. Needs little attention other than regular watering. Flowers best after becoming established. May be cut down late fall or left for winter interest.
Growing Tips: Easily grown in average, medium moisture soils in part shade to full shade. Prefers humusy, organically rich, moisture-retentive soils. Foliage tends to scorch and otherwise depreciate if soils are allowed to dry out. Best sited in locations sheltered from strong winds. This is a slow-to-establish plant.
