Hillside Black Beauty Black Snakeroot

Native to the edges of woodlands in eastern North America, Cimicifuga performs best in partial shade and moist, organically enriched soil. Some direct sunlight is required to draw out the purple coloration in the foliage. Water supply should remain constant throughout the spring, summer and autumn. Cimicifuga takes a few years to get established and reach maturity. Mature clumps should not be disturbed.

Especially attractive when combined with variegated or yellow foliage. Attracts butterflies & is bee friendly. Deer & rabbit resistant. Zones 4-8. Potted in 3" pot.
