Baneberry
Actaea spicata
Baneberry is a striking woodland perennial that thrives in cool, shaded conditions with rich, consistently moist soil, making it perfect for a shaded border or native plant garden. It produces clusters of small white flowers in spring followed by glossy black berries in autumn that are highly ornamental. Please note that all parts of this plant are toxic if ingested, so it should be kept away from children and pets.
