Swallow Cottage
Actaea simplex 'Pink Spike'
£6.95
Common Name: Cimicifuga
Flowering Period: August-October
UK Native? No - garden origin
Pot Size: 1.5/2 litre

(8-10 moist part shade)   1.75mx1m

Sadly not the most inspiring name for a beautiful plant! A tall hybrid whose flowers start white and turn light, then dark, pink as they age. Heavily scented. Early spring foliage is a handsome purple, turning dark green as the season progresses. Stiff upright habit. Easy and reliable in any moist soil.

No staking is required and the species is easy to grow and and pest resistant.

Best in a moist soil which does not waterlog in winter.

Care and maintenance: Cut back the flower stems after flowering. The foliage collapses after the first frost and can be tidied in autumn or spring. Propagate by division in spring.
