At the center of this fascinating, ball-like cluster, a yellow center stabilizes its beauty. The flowers blossom from the end of spring through early summer, and the plant remains green through the fall months.
The small flowers emit a distinctive, slightly sweet smell. This floral scent attracts natural pollinators to your yard, which supports a thriving ecosystem. Some of these pollinators include bees and butterflies. This plant is a natural and lovely option for people who want to attract pollinators.
Black Cohosh Gets As Tall As 2 feet
The base greenery of this flowering plant is relatively dense and reaches a height of almost two feet. In addition, the flowering stems rise more than three feet in the air in distinctive shoots. Because of how bushy and tall the greenery is and because the flowers rise above the bush, it is often used as a stunning backdrop in gardens with smaller plants.
