Product Description
Aruncus dioicus
Common Name: Goat's Beard;
Zones 3 to 7, perhaps to 8.
Full sun to full shade.
Plants reach 4 to 5 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide;
moderate growth rate; tall, erect, bushy, clump-forming herbaceous perennial.
An outstanding specimen plant for the partially shaded garden, with dark green foliage and plume-like spikes of tiny, cream colored flowers rise well above the foliage in early to mid summer. Looking much like a very large white Astilbe, Goat's Beard has similar foliage and feathery, creamy white flower plumes up to 1 foot. long.
Though Aruncus tends to be a slow-grower the first couple of seasons, once it is established it puts on a fabulous show year after year. Make sure it has plenty of room to grow when you first plant it; transplanting this species is a very difficult task. This species is native to North America.
Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit 1993.
Thirty (30) plants per flat (or tray). Approximate Plug Measurements: 3 inches deep x 2 inches wide.
