You know, another great plant is this Cimicifuga but I got to tell you but the name is actually changed in the past year, they change it to Actea, the common name being bug bane. It is a cool plant because it gets these very long flumes of flowers, generally white. The variety that I had here has an all green leaf to it, but they do have some that have a purple leaf to it.
So this particular one again is a very late bloomer, it blooms in October. The smell is just—some people do not like it. I have been to like the smell, it is really a great scent and you can also cut these you know, you could just cut one of the long tassels, you could bring that inside. It last for a little while or on days or something like that, so you can bring it outdoors or inside which I like to do.
And we have also put a lot of this together, I have got about four plants together here and this plant is about three and a half, three to four years old and so it is gotten a lot thicker and eventually we might want to divide this which we can talk about in another segment but for now we will leave this as it is and I will just let you enjoy the beautiful white color here in the floral garden.
