The hardy perennial (scientifically-tsimitsifuga) remains popular. This herb is well received at the dacha plots, where for a long time it pleases the eye with massive vertical "brushes" of inflorescences. In the review we will look at what the main species are remarkable for and which varieties are most in demand.

- Brunette
- Black negligee

American
The height varies from 0.9 to 1.5 m. The leaves are dark green in color. From July to the end of summer flowering occurs: beige flowers appear with a gray tint. 
They are assembled in brushes of the correct cylindrical form. The grade fructifies, as a fruit nuts act.
Brunette
Black cohosh is distinguished by its unusual appearance. The stem itself is purple, with brown "strokes" (the leaves have the same color). With proper care, the height can reach 1.7-1.8 m. 
In the middle of summer on the inflorescences (about 20 cm), luxurious white-purple flowers are seen, exuding a pleasant aroma.
Black negligee
It is considered the best among all varieties that have a dark color. A rather tall (1.5 m) stem with delicate leaves of rich cherry color will become the “nail” of the backyard. 
Klopogon black negligee allows color in August and September, the flowers can be both scarlet and transparent bluish (depending on the choice of planting material).
Branched
The representative of the high lines. Branching stem with maroon-purple leaves can easily grow up to 2 m, and a well-developed rhizome with many branches gives it a special endurance. Belongs to the family to the family Buttercups, like all types of black cohosh. 
The flowering period falls in autumn (September-October), when small flowers of snow-white color can be seen.
The inflorescence of this variety is slightly different from the usual for the whole kind of "cylinders" and strict panicles - for example, the tsimitsifuga branchy line of James Compton as it gathers flowers into a spikelet. His smell is light and pleasant.
Smelly
The plant corresponds to its name - the ground part exudes not the most pleasant smell. And when transplanting, it turns out that the root is the same.
In July-August, small green and white flowers open on small (up to 14 cm) paniculate inflorescences.This species is widely used in traditional medicine. From the "stinker" make decoctions and tinctures, which are used in the treatment of rheumatism, colds, dental and headaches.
Daursky
Klopogon Daurian varieties have a small (1-1.5 m) stem.Leaves a little pointed, with teeth on the edges. The flowers are beige in color, apparently even inconspicuous, gathered in a "panicle".
Flowering begins in the second decade of July and may continue until early September. 
In August, fruits dry nuts of 2-3 mm. In each such nutlet there are several leaflets in which 7-8 seeds are laid.
Pisiform
A large plant with a 2-meter stem and a 60 cm bush circumference. There are also 2.5 m tall specimens.
Similar to inflorescences - large and fragrant at the time of flowering, reaching up to 80 cm. The leaves are rich green with a dull finish. 
In July, flowering begins: on the lower half of the brush visible white or cream flowers, which gradually unfold from the base of the peduncle and to its top.
Cordifolia
Another impressive size. At suburban areas it grows to at least 1.2 m, and on well-groomed soil it easily reaches the mark of 2 m. The leaves are green, slightly faded. 
The inflorescences in the form of a regular “broom” in the second half of summer are covered with small white flowers, around which there is a pronounced honey aroma.
Plain
A small plant rarely grows above 1 m. But by its distribution it will give odds to many “thoroughbred” varieties. Typical representative species - Black cohosh simple line White Pearl.
It can be distinguished by the light green tone of the leaves, which come with double dissection. On the tops of a few peduncles, magnificent "tassels" of inflorescences are located. 
Flowering time - the last weeks of the summer and the first two decades of September, when white flowers with lowered heads are revealed.
Japanese
The standard height of this species is 1.5-2 m. The medium leaves of the correct form have a dark green color (on a sunny day they do not give a reflection, the reflection is dull). 
On the tops of erect peduncles brush inflorescences are seen. "Japanese" favorably with European varieties that blooms almost all summer.
Small beige flowers with a beige shade look great against the backdrop of lush greenery. In rare cases, the color changes to silvery white.
All of these varieties are well accepted on our soils, and their resistance to diseases and pests is enviable. 
The beauty / benefit ratio is another argument in favor of black cohosh. As you have seen, behind such an unattractive name lies a spectacular and "sensible" plant, with the landing of which anyone can handle. More bright colors in the country and in life!
