Actaea rubra
Baneberry, Red Zones: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
Native to rich woods across Canada and the northern half of the United States, Red Baneberry is the red-fruited counterpart of Doll's Eyes, Actaea pachypoda. Plants are long lived and trouble free, forming 2 foot clumps of twice or thrice cut leaves like very coarse fern leaves. One half inch, puffy, creamy white spring flowers mature into clusters of bright red, poisonous, bitter berries, unlikely to be eaten by birds or humans, which persist into late summer. For deep to partial shade and good soil, companion plants might include Blue Sedge, gingers, and Purple Alumroot. Cat# 1131
