Baneberry 'Pink Spike'(Actaea simplex 'Pink Spike')Herb in 2 Litre Pot

Actaea or Baneberry 'Pink Spike' is a lovely herbaceous perennial, which has beautiful dark purple palmate leaves, and is a fabulous architectural plant as it produces tall bottle-brush like spires of pale pink scented flowers in late summer. This is a great plant for a shady spot at the mid to back of the border where the striking pink flower spikes will tower over most of the other plants, it will reach up to 1.5m in height.

This scented plant is loved by bees and butterflies. Ideally it needs a shady spot to maintain the dark leaves, but it will grow in sun as long as the soil remains moist.

Herb Usage

This Actaea has no medicinal value in fact all parts of the plant are toxic. It is related to Black Cohosh but this variety is grown purely for its decorative architectural floral display in the garden.
