Cimicifuga (Cimicifuga Ramosa Atropurpurea) - If you enjoy tall, stately, dark perennials with fragrant flower spikes, consider starting Cimicifuga seeds and growing this remarkably beautiful plant.

Bugbane plants are slow to establish and can take several years to reach their full height of 6 feet. Cimicifuga Bugbane needs consistently moist soil. Cimicifua seeds do best with a cold, moist stratification.
