Misty Blue White Baneberry (Actaea pachypoda 'Misty Blue') is a native cultivar known for its beautiful bluish-green foliage, small fragrant flowers, and ornamental berries resembling "doll's eyes".
The finely cut blue-green foliage on reddish stems has an overall clumping habit. Small oblong sprays of mildly fragrant white flowers in the late spring / early summer will attract bees and butterflies. The berries of Misty Blue White Baneberry are shiny white with a black dot on each base (hence the nickname Misty Blue Doll's Eyes Plant) on red stems (peduncles). The berries are very ornamental, but toxic if ingested.
Misty Blue Doll's Eyes Plant is a low maintenance perennial, excellent for foundation mass plantings, in a partial to fully shaded area, or woodland landscape. The foliage is toxic, and therefore resistant to most mammalian herbivores. Interestingly, the plant is harmless to birds - its main seed distributor!
This cultivar is also known as Misty Blue White Cohosh.
