Carolina Bugbane

Description

A handsome woodlander that forms clumps of deeply lobed leaves from which rise tall sturdy stems supporting dense umbels of foamy white flowers. It's undemanding, the foliage is striking, and the masses of clean white flowers light up the shade garden. Occurs in mountain woods from Pennsylvania to Kentucky to Georgia, on prairies in southern Indiana and western Illinois, and on limestone bluffs in southern Missouri.
