Description
The red baneberry is an excellent but under-used plant for the dry, shade garden. It can be variable in height, growing up to 40-80 cm, with compound leaves, white flowers in clusters in May-June, followed by shiny ornamental red berries with a small black dot. The red berries are ornamental, holding well into fall.
Not often it is mentioned the fact that the flowers are extremely fragrant!
It was traditionally employed (the roots) by Native Americans in herbal medicine in various preparations, mainly for women problems. The common name baneberry refers to the plant’s poisonous berries.
Germination: a slightly warm cycle/ followed by a cold one so when sown in late fall/winter, like often happens, will germinate in the second spring after sowing. Sown in early fall, chances are they will germinate in the first spring. The seedlings are fast growing; you can expect flowers/first fruits in the 3th year.
