This plant has a wonderful, sweet fragrance so I planted right beside my front steps and I am really enjoying its architecture and grape-juice scent right now. While it prefers moisture, it seems to be doing fine in my rather dry front shade garden. I do dump a little extra kitchen water on it now and then from washing lettuce etc (another good reason to plant it right beside the door!)
This plant was recently featured on Houzz so go check it out for more info and inspiration!
We need to talk! My bugbane has never looked like the picture! Though I have the one with bright green leaves...

Sure, but I don't really know what to say. Could it be the variety that makes the difference? I do give this plant a generous heap of compost each year, and the extra water from the kitchen, as I mentioned. It's also in a sheltered location so perhaps that helps...?
