Planting and Growing Information
Actaea 'Silver Dance' thrives in zones 3-7, making it suitable for most North American landscapes. Plant in spring in humus-rich, consistently moist soil for optimal growth. While shade-tolerant, it can handle some morning sun in cooler climates. Space plants 18-24 inches apart to allow for proper air circulation.
