Description
Actaea simplex 'Pink Spike,' commonly known as Baneberry, is a stunning perennial that brings both height and elegance to shaded garden areas. With its tall, graceful flower spikes, 'Pink Spike' features clusters of soft, blush-pink blooms that open in late summer to early autumn, adding a gentle pop of colour just as many other plants begin to fade. These fragrant flowers rise above lush, dark green, finely divided foliage, creating a beautiful contrast that enhances the overall garden design.
Reaching a mature height of approximately 120-150 cm and spreading around 45-60 cm, 'Pink Spike' is ideal for adding vertical interest to borders, woodland edges, or shaded cottage gardens. This variety thrives in moist, well-drained soil and partially shaded spots, making it well-suited to UK gardens.
Shipped as bare root plants, Actaea simplex 'Pink Spike' establishes itself over 2-3 years, rewarding with more robust blooms each season. It’s a captivating choice for gardeners looking to add fragrance, height, and a delicate blush of pink to their outdoor spaces.
