Re: Cimicifuga 'Hillside Black Beauty' vs...

I've had 2 different Black Beauties and they are not easy to grow. Perhaps
they need very moist/wet soil? I dumped lots of water on the one that I
planted last year, but it just hung on without growth.

Hi Marge and all,

I put Hillside Black Beauty on my "wish list" after seeing it on the AHS
2000
convention tour.  I like the color better than Atropurpurea.  Do you, or
anyone else, know how Black Negligee compares to it?  Isn't there a Brunette
also?

Thanks,
