Artful Actaea Collection brings showy foliage, accentuated by nectar-rich flowers to the garden each summer and autumn - helping your garden to transition between seasons with long-lasting colour. Plants flower from May to October – giving up to 6 months of colour across the range.
Actaea are tall, elegant plants which needs a moist, shady spot in order to thrive. Alongside the architectural, highly scented, bottlebrush-like blooms they produce dramatic clumps of showy, ferny foliage from as early as March right through to October for valuable, ground covering interest. Collection comprises: pachypoda 'Misty Blue' H: 75cm S: 60cm; simplex 'Pink Spike' H: 1.5m S: 75cm; and simplex 'Brunette' H: 1.2m S: 1m.
Artful Actaea Collection is also a draw for passing butterflies and bees when in bloom, and produces attractive berries soon after flowering which are valuable sustenance for other wildlife.
Plants in the Artful Actaea Collection are hardy, herbaceous perennials which prefer moist soil in partial shade.
