Actea pachypoda – Doll’s Eyes
Are you looking at it? Or is it looking at you? This unique Missouri and Illinois native plant, Doll’s Eyes, Actea pachypoda, is a sight to behold.

The berries are exceptionally showy and especially effective in shady woodland beds. Also known as White Baneberry.
Makes an excellent addition to shade and woodland gardens. Easy to grow. Berries are poisonous in eaten.
Plant in shade to part shade in soil that has been amended with organic matter. Although a tough native, keep well watered, especially during dry spells.
