Formerly known as Cimicifuga and commonly known as Bugbane. These are attractive architectural plants with large palmate leaves in dark tones of purple and bronze. The scented flowers are particularly fragrant in the evening and are irresistible to bees, butterflies and hoverflies. Actaea produce slender bottlebrush shaped flowers throughout late summer and throughout autumn. They make an ideal choice for the back of a damp shady border.

The only maintenance required is to cut them back after fruiting.

    Brilliant. Someone phoned me to say they were waiting on confirmation they had a particular plant I wanted; I was phoned to say the plant was in stock and my order was being prepared. The Plants were excellent quality. Excellent service and care taken to fulfil my order and pack plants for delivery.

    You beat me to it! Excellent service and I'm thrilled with my Camelia, April Rose. I've been searching for ages for this specific shrub, as it has the name of my Granddaughter. The plant is extremely healthy, arrived expertly packed and in quick time. Can't fault your service. Very many thanks.
