description for "Perennials: Cimicifuga racemosa"
Black Snakeroot is the showiest variety. Ivory flower spikes are up to 8 inches long, on very long stems. Seed pods are attractive too. A must for the shady garden. A genus that is widely distributed over the warm, temperate regions of the globe. Only a few have garden value. All are happiest in at least light shade, with rich soil. These are elegant plants that add grace to the garden. They are superb companions for various types of hosta and also variegated polygonatum. Foliage is nice too. Even moisture is best. Native.
