Chocolate Snakeroot is a native herbaceous perennial with sharp-toothed dark green lace-like foliage that has a chocolate tint. Fluffy white flowers bloom in flat clusters atop of striking purple stems from late summer into fall. Blooms best in part shade and humusy medium to wet well-drained soil.
