Description
For those who love unique foliage, the delicate white baneberry (Actaea pachypoda) has been updated for the 21st century with a fantastic powder blue selection. Low maintenance and long lived, ‘Misty Blue’ will form a sizable multi-stemmed clump of blue to about two feet topped in early summer with small clusters of fragrant, white flowers. By autumn the plant will develop white fruit with a single black dot on each base (hence the other common name doll’s eyes) held on showy red peduncles (fruit/flower stems). This is a choice plant for the shade garden that you will love for years to come.
