Well, if anyone knows the secret of getting them to thrive, please share!
I'm going to try more compost on it (and my other Cimicifugas) and water
profusely this year. I'll let you know if that does the trick. ...or maybe
it's the third year for the plant I bought and it's showtime!

I too put Hillside Black Beauty on my list after seeing a the Ann Arbor
convention. It is from Fred McGourty's Hillside Gardens in Norfolk, CT. A
must see garden & nursery. I grow Cimicifuga atropurpurea and it does
little
for me in terma of color. I also grow Brunette and it's better but still
not
Hillside Black Beauty. I suspect as I acquire HBB this spring, I'll give it
more sun as I believe (IMHO) that it needs some sun to show its best color.
