This is an easy to grow Asian bugbane, Actaea japonica aka Cimicifuga japonica. This plant spends most of the day in full shade and is growing in relatively poor soil, but it performs wonderfully and its flowers (I think I deleted the photographs from last year so I can't show them unfortunately) are quite a bit different than those on North American bugbanes. It makes a really nice foliage plant when it's not in bloom.
