NEW Actaea rubifolia ‘Eye Catcher’
(Bugbane)

An unusual and refined selection, ‘Eye Catcher’ offers attractive, gray-green foliage with a soft, fern-like texture and a light aromatic quality. The finely divided leaves form a neat, clump-forming habit that adds subtle interest even when the plant is not in bloom.

In mid-summer, airy clusters of soft pink flowers open and gradually fade to white, creating a gentle two-tone effect. The blooms rise just above the foliage, adding lightness and movement to shaded plantings.

Well suited for woodland gardens and shaded borders, this Actaea tolerates drier conditions better than many in the genus once established, though it still performs best in rich, well-drained soil.
