Description
Botanical Name
Actaea racemosa 'Black Negligee'
Black Negligee Bugbane features bold spikes of fragrant white flowers with shell pink overtones rising above the foliage from mid to late summer. The flowers are excellent for cutting. Its attractive deeply cut ferny compound leaves emerge dark green in spring, turning deep purple in color with hints of black throughout the season. The brown fruits are carried on spikes from late summer to late winter. The deep purple stems are very colorful and add to the overall interest of the plant.
