Actaea Hillside Black Beauty Details

Actaea Hillside Black Beauty is a variety of the commonly known, Snakeroot, and is grown for its impressive flowers and foliage. This herbaceous perennial produces scented, bottlebrush-like, pale pink flowers on slender stems which rise above the foliage from summer through autumn. The foliage comprises lush, dark red-purple leaves which provides a great contrast to the flowers. It typically grows to 1.2 m tall and 1.5 m wide, performing best in full sun on a well-drained site with good summer moisture. It is tolerant of light frost, coastal environments, and partial shade though in this instance leaf colouring will be less intense. Actaea Hillside Black Beauty is commonly used in border or mixed plantings, included in cottage gardens, maintained in a container, or mass planted around the base of larger trees and shrubs. It is a great plant for adding interest and year-round colour.
