With a dense, upright growth habit and deep, coppery-purple black foliage, Hillside Black Beauty is the darkest-hued cimicifuga variety you’ll find. Young foliage tends to emerge green before quickly maturing to a rich purple-black, and in late summer, the tall emerging flower stems are topped with fragrant, white bottlebrush flowers with a pale pink flush. Given the RHS Award of Garden Merit for its unique color, performance and easy-grow nature, this variety provides a wonderfully lacy, airy backdrop to any shaded garden.
Striking Dark Foliage for Shady Spaces: The deeply divided, fern-like leaves of Hillside Black Beauty Cimicifuga boast a rich coppery-purple hue that adds depth and contrast to your garden. This bold foliage thrives in partial to full shade, making it ideal for woodland settings, shaded borders or under taller trees. It is especially attractive when combined with variegated or chartreuse foliage.
Fragrant Late-Season Blooms: In late summer to fall, this cimicifuga produces elegant white flower spikes that rise above the foliage, adding height and movement to your garden. These blooms release a pleasant fragrance that enhances your outdoor space while attracting pollinators like butterflies and bees.
Award-Winning, Low-Maintenance Beauty: Recipient of the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit, the Hillside Black Beauty Cimicifuga is celebrated for its exceptional performance and minimal maintenance, making it a reliable choice for gardeners of all skill levels.
Perfect for Shade Gardens: With its dramatic foliage and late-season blooms, Hillside Black Beauty Cimicifuga thrives in shaded areas with moist, well-drained soil, transforming low-sun areas into serene, eye-catching retreats.
