Cimicifuga racemosa ‘Chocoholic’

Cimicifuga racemosa ‘Chocoholic’ is a striking addition to any garden, boasting deep, almost black foliage that creates a dramatic contrast in the landscape. Its elegant, self-supporting stems bear fragrant white flowers in tall, narrow spikes, evoking a meadow-like scent. Thriving in sunny locations, this unique variety adds a touch of sophistication to garden borders.

Cimicifuga racemosa ‘Chocoholic’ pairs well with a variety of companion plants that complement its dark foliage and delicate blooms. Consider planting it alongside light-colored perennials like Astilbe ‘Bridal Veil’ or Hosta ‘Francee’ to create a striking contrast. For added texture and interest, mix in ferns such as Matteuccia struthiopteris (Ostrich Fern) or Athyrium niponicum var. pictum (Japanese Painted Fern). Additionally, ornamental grasses like Hakonechloa macra ‘Aureola’ can provide a soft, airy backdrop to highlight the bold features of ‘Chocoholic’.
