Actaea arizonica is a rhizomatous herbaceous perennial from Arizona, found in coniferous forests in damp, shady areas at 5,300–7,000ft. The creamy white, bottlebrush-like flowers are particularly beloved of bumblebees. The light green leaves are deeply cut, spaced along tall, upright stems and also forming a crown at the base.
Flowering in July and August, and endangered in the wild, it needs sheltered, humid conditions and rich, fertile soil to thrive. A shady, sheltered site with yearly mulching would be ideal.
