Striking all summer long, award-winning Actaea simplex ‘Hillside Black Beauty’ (Baneberry) is a beautiful perennial with dark reddish-purple, finely divided foliage, enhanced by gracefully arching wands of scented, pale pink flowers in late summer and fall. Their strong fragrance is reminiscent of summer phlox and ripe purple grapes. The flowers are packed in fluffy spikes along purple waving stems. ‘Hillside Black Beauty’ provides interest for months and its foliage does not fade as the season progresses. Plant it with a group of white primula candelabras, and it will take your breath away. A statuesque plant and a fantastic shade perennial.
