Baneberry Plant

Baneberry Plant: A North American native species, the baneberry plant originated in Canada, but it flourishes across most of the United States. It is a herbaceous perennial, well-suited to partial or complete shade.

The baneberry plant is a species that has several common names, including these:

• Bugbane
• Coralberry
• Snake berry
• Doll's eyes
• White cohosh

Not only will a baneberry plant thrive in your wooded natural areas, but it will also attract many healthy pollinator species. Bees, butterflies, moths, and hummingbirds will enjoy the flowers; songbirds will take full advantage of the plants' abundant berries.

Where to Grow Baneberry Plant

The baneberry plant is a woodland herb. It enjoys a moist, but not wet, location in the filtered shade--it loves woody, organic material. When you plant baneberry, loosen the soil and add a scoop of hardwood mulch, grass clippings, or shredded leaves--it loves these!

Although it prefers moist soil, baneberry plants will tolerate short dry spells. If you go more than a week with no rain, give it a generous drink of water. It is a hardy, resilient plant that demands very little care.

Here are some places that would benefit from the addition of a baneberry plant or two:

• Shade garden: This tree-loving plant does well in shady spots and will be a lovely ornamental species to add color to your shade garden.
• Garden border: Baneberry grows to approximately two to three feet tall, ideal for the center of a garden border.
• Natural areas: Do you have a lovely, wooded space that could use a little color under the canopy of the trees? Baneberry is the plant for that spot!

Baneberry Adds Color All Season Long

Burgundy-tinged baneberry stems grow from a robust root system in an upright posture. The deep green leaves alternate on the stem and have an attractive elliptical shape, toothy margins, and a slightly fuzzy texture.

Baneberry flowers are petite, under an inch each, and bright white. Although small, each flower has up to twenty petals. They grow in large clusters, creating a cloud effect in the late spring to early summer.

The plant's berries arrive mid to late summer and are small and round. They can be white, red, or deep burgundy. Although inedible to humans, they will nourish your animal friends.
