The Story
Known as black cohosh, black bugbane, black snakeroot, rattle-top, or fairy candle, the plant is native to North America including Canada and the USA. It grows in a variety of woodland habitats, and is often found in small woodland openings.
In late spring and early summer it bears tall tapering racemes of white midsummer flowers on wiry black-purple stems. The drying seed heads stay handsome in the garden for many weeks. Its deeply cut, superficially maple-like leaves add interest to gardens, which make it a popular garden perennial. It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
The plant was Virginia Native Plant Society’s 2017 wildflower of the year.
