'Chocoholic' Actaea

'Chocoholic' Actaea is a sensational perennial prized for its extraordinary dark, nearly black-chocolate foliage that creates a dramatic contrast in shaded garden settings throughout the growing season. From midsummer into fall, the plant sends up tall, elegant wands of fragrant white flowers that glow beautifully against the dark foliage, attracting pollinators. Growing 3 to 5 feet tall, Chocoholic makes a bold architectural statement in shade gardens, woodland borders, and any planting where deep, dark foliage can be used to create contrast and drama. It thrives in partial to full shade and moist, rich, well-drained soil. The combination of extraordinary foliage color, elegant late-season blooms, and woodland adaptability make it one of the most desirable shade perennials available.
