Description:
Actaea 'Hillside Black Beauty'
A striking perennial prized for its dramatic, dark purple-black foliage and tall, fragrant white flower spikes. Growing up to 4-6 feet tall, this variety brings an elegant, architectural presence to shaded gardens. The finely cut, almost black leaves provide a bold contrast to its creamy-white bottlebrush blooms, which appear in late summer, followed by ornamental deep-purple berries in fall. Ideal for woodland gardens or shaded borders, 'Hillside Black Beauty' thrives in moist, well-drained soil and adds texture, color, and a touch of sophistication to any landscape. Its unique foliage makes it an eye-catching feature throughout the growing season.
