Late summer early autumn ,this is a bit late due to lack of sunshine smells gorgeous and what few butterfly's are left love it.

I will watch for mine flowering now, then. Planted in shade, as that is the only place that does not dry out in a normal summer.

Fabulous plant, Brian! Did you miss spell its name? I think you dropped an "a". I found the same plant on the web & it's spelt "Actaea simplex".
I looked it up as I like the flower spike & wondered if I might be able to grow it on our balcony.

Balcony
looked at the write up,I would defiantly say part shade the leaves get burnt in full sun,in my garden that is,grows alright in containers here but exhausts the soil in 2/3 years usually needs splitting by then anyway.
see PM

Yes, I read about the need for shade, Brian. I should be able to accommodate that as the interior of the balcony is shadier than the half further out due to being shaded by the roof of the balcony & also to the angle of the sun's rays.
Thanks for your PM, see my reply.

Never been able to get this to flower.....it is in shade, perhaps too dry?
