Actaea rubifolia (Cimicifuga, Baneberry, Snakeroot)

Actaea rubifolia

Actaea rubifolia extends its terminal spikes of frothy white flowers in September. Though this plant prefers alkaline soils, relatively rare in New England, it tolerates our native acidic soils quite nicely and provides pollinators with late-season nectar. 4-6', Z4-8.
