Planting and Growing Information
Plant Actaea 'Pink Spike' in partial to full shade locations with rich, consistently moist soil. While tolerant of morning sun, protection from intense afternoon heat will preserve the dramatic foliage color. Space plants 18-24 inches apart to allow for their mature spread. This perennial thrives in woodland-like conditions with ample organic matter. Flowering occurs from late summer through early fall, providing valuable late-season interest when many other perennials have finished blooming.
