Actaea japonica 'Silver Blush' - 2026

Actaea japonica 'Silver Blush' is an elegant perennial prized for its finely cut, dark green foliage marbled with silver tones. In late summer to early autumn, tall spires of fluffy white flowers appear above the leaves, releasing a sweet fragrance that attracts bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. The striking variegation and airy blooms give it a refined, graceful presence in shaded planting schemes.

Best suited to moist, humus-rich soil in partial shade, 'Silver Blush' thrives in woodland gardens, shaded borders, or beside water features where the soil stays cool and damp. Its upright habit and long flowering season add structure and late colour to gardens. Combining ornamental foliage, fragrant flowers, and ecological value, this cultivar is an excellent choice for extending seasonal interest into autumn.
