Description
Flowers: August-October. Plant in moist part shade. HxS 2mx1m
A very dark, almost black-leaved form with pink budded, white flowers in late summer as other plants are fading. It can grow to 2m in flower given ideal conditions and provides a great vertical accent in rich fertile soil. Scent is just an added bonus! Pest and disease resistant and does not require staking. Formerly a member of the Cimicifuga family but now moved into Actaea. Most of the Actaea simplex hybrids are slow growing and take a few years to reach maturity. They are best ordered in spring as they are a devil to ship in late summer and we hate having to cut them back! Pot size 1.5 litre.
Care & Maintenance.
Divide with care in spring as the plants are not too tolerant of disturbance. Easy to grow and maintenance free. *CAUTION: Poisonous if ingested.

Stephen Ellis (verified owner) –
I ordered 2 of the Actaea simplex Black Negligee, both arrived earlier that expected which was great. They were packaged so well that when opened they were in perfect condition, no breakages, the compost was moist, the plants themselves were larger and stronger than I expected. In fact they were perfect really happy with them. I would certainly recommend these plants as an addition to your garden. I will also be purchasing more plants of different varieties with confidence in the future.
