Black Cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa) potted plant, organic

Family:  Crowfoot (Ranunculaceae)

Hardy to zones 4 to 10

(The Latin name Cimicifuga racemosa is synonymous with the Latin name Actaea racemosa)

Herbaceous perennial native to the forest understory of the eastern hardwood forests, especially northern Appalachia, with the gene center occurring probably in the mountains of West Virginia. Perfectly cold hardy and an excellent garden introduction which has actually been absorbed into the horticulture trade in Europe as an exotic ornamental. The plant prefers part shade and moist, rich soils. A good top dressing with organic compost and a finish with forest-derived mulch will produce monumental plants with multiple upright, white-flowering racemes.
