Actaea 'Chocoholic'
Actaea 'Chocoholic' is a striking herbaceous perennial prized for its rich, dark purple foliage and elegant late-season display of fragrant white flowers. From late summer into early autumn, tall purple stems rise above the foliage carrying bottlebrush-like blooms that create a dramatic contrast and fill the garden with gentle fragrance.
Perfect for woodland gardens, shaded borders and naturalistic planting schemes, this architectural variety adds height, texture and long-lasting interest when many other perennials are beginning to fade. The nectar-rich flowers are highly attractive to bees and other pollinators, bringing valuable wildlife into the garden.
Thriving in partial shade and moist, fertile soil, 'Chocoholic' is easy to grow and makes an outstanding cut flower. Its bold foliage and elegant flower spikes provide interest from spring through to autumn.
