Majestic and magnificent, the ‘Timeless Actaea Collection’ are shade loving perennials to bring height and elegance to your garden. Tall, graceful stems rise in summer, holding fascinating and fragrant bottlebrush-like blooms, to the delight of bees, butterflies and other pollinators. This collection comprises; matsumurae ‘White Pearl’ - a striking, award-winning perennial which boasts fragrant white flowers in September and October, height 1.2m, spread 60cm; simplex ‘Chocoholic’ - striking, dark, chocolate-purple foliage provides a dramatic contrast to the creamy white flowers from August to October, height 1.2m, spread 60cm; and simplex ‘Pink Spike’ - dramatic clumps of dark mahogany ferny foliage below pale pink flowers which mature to darker pink from August to October, height 1.5m, spread 75cm. Actaea are both deer and rabbit resistant, and prefer to be grown in moist, but not boggy, soil in dappled, partial or full shade to keep a good foliage colour. Fully hardy, herbaceo
