Actaea racemosa
When to plant black cohosh
Black cohosh sends up tall white flower spikes from late spring into summer (NC State: May to August) above ferny foliage. Plant or divide in spring or fall in moist, humus-rich shade; it is slow to establish.
Black Cohosh is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
