Cimicifuga ramosa 'Hillside Black Beauty'

Common name: Black snakeroot, Bugbane

Dark purple lacy foliage with white bottlebrush flowers in late summer.

A great plant for a focal point in the shade garden.

New growth may tend to be green but will quickly turn a darker color.

The 12" white flowers are fragrant and attract butterflies.

Contrasts nicely when planted by other chartreuse-colored plants.

Prefers moist organic soil.

The perfect plant for a woodland setting.
