Actaea 'Queen of Sheba' - 2026

Actaea 'Queen of Sheba' is a striking perennial admired for its finely divided, deep bronze-purple foliage and tall, elegant flower spikes. From late summer to early autumn, slender stems carry fragrant, fluffy white blooms often tinged with pink, which provide a dramatic contrast against the dark leaves. The flowers are highly attractive to pollinators, extending nectar sources late into the season.

Thriving in moist, humus-rich soil and partial shade, 'Queen of Sheba' is particularly well suited to woodland gardens, shaded borders, or damp garden edges. Its bold foliage adds depth and texture, while the tall flowers create vertical interest and movement. Combining architectural form, strong seasonal presence, and wildlife value, it makes an exceptional choice for shaded planting schemes.
