Blue Cohosh

Caulophyllum thalictroides

Blue Cohosh is a choice shade perennial with attractive greenish-blue foliage reminiscent of Rue Anemone. Its subtle pale-yellow flowers turn to vibrant blue berry-like seeds that birds love. This is an excellent woodland wildflower to add to your collection.

Conditions: Part shade to full shade; average soil
Size: 2′
Zone: 3 – 8
Wildlife Value: Pollen and nectar attract pollinating flies, bees, and wasps; fruits provide valuable food for birds, but are toxic to humans
