Phytolacca americana

From early summer, spikes of white flowers, often pink-flushed, are produced on long spikes, followed by green berries. From midsummer onwards these berries gradually change colour, becoming shiny and almost black and so giving a real wow factor!

The berries will be taken by birds as well as naturally falling, soit will gently seed around. In autumn the green leaves take on lovely purple tints.

Please be aware thatall parts of this plant are poisonous to humans and pets, if ingested.

Summer flowering. Will grow in sun or shade, in a moisture retentive soil. Height & spread:1.5m-2m x 1.5m (5-6x 5ft).
