This dark, lustrous shade tolerant native cultivar is a great addition to a partial or full shade garden. As almost-black leaved plants are more reveled at, let drought tolerant Hillside Black Beauty speak for itself. Its clump-forming habit allows for dense low mounds of deep purple foliage to be 1-2’ tall which give way to late summer emerging flower stalks reaching up to 4-6’ in height, bearing astilbe-like creamy white with hints of blush spikes. May also be known as Bugbane.
