Striking all summer long, award-winning Actaea simplex ‘Brunette’ (Baneberry) is a beautiful perennial with purple-black, finely divided foliage, enhanced by gracefully arching wands of fragrant white flowers in late summer and fall. Purple-pink in the bud, opening to white, the heavily scented flowers are packed in fluffy spikes along black waving stems. ‘Brunette’ provides interest for months. Plant it with a group of white primula candelabras, and it will take your breath away. A knockout variety and a fantastic shade perennial.
