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.

    Beautiful healthy hepatica plants, lovingly packed. They arrived swiftly and safely. Thanks!
  • Fred P Verified Buyer
    The Hepaticas I ordered were delivered in excellent condition and the purchase fully met my expectations. My subsequent enquiry as to a suitable source from which to obtain Fine Shredded Bark to enable me to make my own soil mixture suitable for Hepaticas was also dealt with to my full satisfaction .

    This would have been 5* had I got a confirmation of my order. After a phone call I was assured my plant was on its way, it arrived the next day, very well packaged. Plant looks healthy and is now in the ground. Very helpful instructions enclosed.
