About this plant

Black Negligee bugbane is a dramatic shade perennial producing bold spikes of white flowers with shell pink overtones in full to part sun. The tall bottlebrush-like blooms emerge in late summer above deeply cut, dark purple-black foliage. This variety creates stunning vertical interest in woodland gardens and shaded borders. Plants prefer consistent moisture and rich, organic soil for best performance.
