Plant Features

Black Negligee Actaea, commonly called bugbane, bears tall, bottle-brush-like, creamy white flowers that can grow as long as 24 inches atop the sharply cut, serrated black foliage; the tip-top of each flower spire can be 5 or 6 feet tall! The leaves of this Baneberry will first emerge as a luscious emerald green before maturing to that prized purplish-black that sets off the flowers and berries so well. 

Actaea Companion Plants: Brunnera, Ferns, Helleborus, Hosta
