Growing and Maintenance Tips:

Baneberry should be grown in dappled to partial shade in a rich, organic, moist soil. Can be grown in sunnier locations if the roots are kept cool and have adequate water.

Additional Notes about Red Baneberry:

Native to Ontario

The berries have a single black dot which resembles an old-fashioned china-doll-like eye. Because the foliage is toxic, it is resistant to most mammalian herbivores, however, it is harmless to birds, its main seed distributor.The flowers produce no nectar, but attract various species of bees seeking pollen.
The berries are poisonous. As few as 5 can make you ill, and more could lead to cardiac arrest.
