Actaea simplex (Atropurpurea Group) 'Brunette' Size:Approx. 0.5 litre pot In our garden we useAbout this cultivar: Actaea simplex (Atropurpurea Group) 'Brunette' is known for its upright, bronze purple stems and foliage (sometimes tinted green when young). It has dense spikes of small, fragrant white flowers in early autumn, tinted purple in bud.
