Black Cohosh

Black Cohosh features deep green, divided leaves that form a dense, bushy clump. By late summer, it shoots up dramatic spikes of tiny, white flowers that reach high above the foliage, creating an eye-catching display in shaded areas. The plant is not only a visual standout but also valued for its historical use in herbal medicine.

• Prefers consistently moist soil; water regularly to maintain even soil moisture, especially in dry periods
  Deadhead spent flowers to keep the plant looking tidy and encourage additional blooming
  Thrives in rich, well-draining soil; amend with compost to enhance fertility
  Divide clumps in early spring every 3-4 years to rejuvenate growth and manage spread
  Taller flower spikes may benefit from staking if they become floppy
