Cimicifuga ramosa 'James Compton' (Black Snakeroot)

White flowers are held just above very dark black foliage. 'James Compton' grows fast and forms a broad clump. It's height is good for mid border placement -- although it's so gorgeous, I love to place it on the borders edge which is especially nice for enjoying the fragrance. Putting tall plants in front of shorter ones forces you to seek out what's behind -- it slows you down as you walk the garden paths. 129 fl oz/3.814 L pot
