The Misty Blue White Baneberry or Actaea pachypoda adds loads of color and texture to a landscape and does so without requiring much care. The lobed leaves have a soft appearance and jagged edges. The foliage features a lovely blueish-green hue. Spring-blooming flowers have a delicate, feathery texture and bloom on tall stems that stand above the foliage. As the season progresses, the flower stalks turn a bold red, and white berries replace the flowers.

Birds and other animals enjoy the berries, making this plant a popular food source. As much as the Misty Blue White Baneberry is loved and enjoyed by animals and insects, foragers, like deer and rabbits, leave it alone. Feature this perennial in a woodland or cottage garden. It makes an excellent addition to a mix bed or border to create a stunning mass planting. Grow the Misty Blue White Baneberry in zones 3 through 8.

As a native plant, the Baneberry does not need fertilizer, especially when grown in soil with high organic content.

Prune dead or damaged growth throughout the season. Trim all growth to ground level after the first hard frost. A thick layer of organic mulch will insulate the roots and support new growth in the spring.
