You have to see this plant in bloom to believe how stunning it is. It makes a striking vertical backdrop to any shady area.
In spring tall spikes arise from deep-green foliage and feature tiny flowers that bloom from the bottom up.
Black Bugbane is a larval host to the Spring Azure butterfly, and it attracts hummingbirds, bees and other pollinators.
Black Bugbane prefers part shade but will grow in sun with enough moisture.
