Actea simplex 'Brunette'
£5.00Price
I've always found a place for this plant. I love it's dark purple / black foliage and tall spikes of little white flowers that appear in the autumn. I really love white flowers shining out of a shady spot and in my gardens it has always been planted in shade and done really well. I use the leaves and flowers in arrangements
Common Name
baneberry 'Brunette', Cimicifuga simplex 'Brunette' - the name I still go back to using!

Cultivation
Grow in sun or part shade in moist but well drained soil. I doesn't really like drying out so a good mulch of rotten organic matter will help retain moisture and feed it.
