Cimicifuga racemosa
Cimicifuga racemosa
Bugbane / syn. Actaea racemosa
Slender, upright form makes a vertical statement. Wands of tiny white flowers bloom over an extended period of time in mid to late summer attracting loads of butterflies. Despite the height it won’t need staking. Looks best planted in groups though, a single mature plant could be used as a specimen. Deep green foliage has great looking texture all season long. Effective in woodland gardens, cottage gardens and naturalized areas in shade or part shade with moist, well drained soil.

Homeowner Growing and Maintenance Tips
Plant in a shaded area. Bugbane is long lived but may take a couple of years to get established and reach full size. While the plant is very drought tolerant, provide some additional water to keep it looking its best.
