Actaea pachypoda
white baneberry
White baneberry is a moderately low growing shade-loving perennial that produces eye-catching white berries on red stems after small white flowers bloom in the spring.
These berries are highly poisonous if eaten, hence the common name of “Baneberry”. Most wildlife tend to avoid this plant due to it’s toxicity, although some birds can and do eat the berries in small amounts.
The green foliage provides visual interest in shade gardens, and will turn light green to yellow if positioned in sunny areas.
