Highly attractive and architectural perennial with decorative green leaves and long spikes of fragrant white flowers. Effective in woodland gardens, shaded flower beds, cottage gardens and naturalized areas. Best if planted in groups and in front of a darker background, so the whole beautiful structure and spires of the flowers are contrasted and visible.
The roots were used by Native Americans as analgesic, sedative and anti-inflammatory medicine. The common name, "bugbane,“ is connected to the odoriferous insect repellent properties of this wildflower.
