Actaea simplex ‘Black Negligee’

A stunning woodland perennial, ‘Black Negligee’ features fine, purple-black, lacy foliage that creates striking contrast in shady areas. From late summer to early fall, it produces elegant, fragrant spires of creamy-white to softly pink-tinted bottlebrush flowers atop dark stems. Thriving in moist, humus-rich, well-drained soil in part shade to full shade (and even tolerating some sun with sufficient moisture), it's an ideal specimen or background plant for wooded borders and shady cottage gardens. Not only does it attract bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and birds, but it's also naturally deer- and rabbit-resistant. Handle with gloves—like all bugbanes, it’s toxic if ingested.
