Actaea 'Pink Spike' is a cultivar which, at 90 to 140cm in height, is a little shorter than most in the species. It has beautiful finely divided, dark purple palmate leaves which provide a gorgeous backdrop to other plants and give season long interest. In September deep pink buds open to reveal tall spires of heavily scented pale pink bottle-brush flowers, which are much loved by bees and butterflies. Grows in any moist but well drained humous rich soil
