Cimicifuga simplex ‘White Pearl’ – A Graceful Late-Season Bloomer

Cimicifuga simplex ‘White Pearl’ (now classified as Actaea simplex ‘White Pearl’) is an elegant and architectural perennial that brings height, fragrance, and movement to the garden. This shade-loving beauty is perfect for extending interest into late summer and autumn with its graceful spires of pure white flowers that glisten like pearls against deep green foliage.

Why Grow Cimicifuga ‘White Pearl’?

• Delicate, Fragrant Flowers: Tall, creamy-white bottlebrush blooms emerge in late summer, filling the air with a sweet, vanilla-like scent that attracts bees and butterflies.
• Graceful, Textured Foliage: Lush, deep green, finely cut leaves provide a striking contrast and elegant texture in shaded borders.
• Perfect for Shade: Thrives in partial to full shade, making it ideal for woodland gardens, mixed borders, and damp, shady spots.
• Late-Season Interest: A wonderful way to add height and beauty when other perennials start to fade, with flower spikes reaching up to 1.2m (4ft) tall.
• Low Maintenance & Hardy: A robust and easy-to-grow perennial, fully hardy in the UK and long-lived in the right conditions.

Planting & Care Guide

• Position: Best in partial shade, but can tolerate some sun if the soil remains moist.
• Soil: Prefers moist, humus-rich, well-drained soil—ideal for woodland-style planting.
• Watering: Keep well-watered, especially in dry spells, as it thrives in consistently moist conditions.
• Maintenance:
  • Cut back flower spikes after blooming to encourage strong growth.
  • Mulch annually with organic matter to retain moisture and improve soil quality.
  • Divide mature clumps every few years to maintain vigour.

A true woodland gem, it pairs beautifully with hostas, ferns, and astrantias for a lush, layered display.
