Pink Spike Bugbane | Actaea simplex

Native cultivar*. Honey-scented pale pink 5' spires tower above the bronze-purple foliage in late summer. Newly emerging frilly bright green foliage mingles at the basal mound for stunning contrast. Dramatic! The finely cut fern-like foliage of Cimicifuga Pink Spike makes a perfect backdrop for the late summer spires of fragrant flowers. Prefers a consistently moist site for best habit. Adds architectural oomph and late summer bloom to a shady area. Good in groups or as a specimen. Best color in light shade.
