Product Description
Aruncus dioicus (30)ct Flat
Common Name: Goat's Beard
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 tall, erect, bushy, clump-forming herbaceous perennial species is native to North America.
Goat's Beard grows best in moist, humus-rich soils. In northern climates, it can be grown in full sun if provided with adequate moisture. In southern zones, however, it prefers partial or full shade. When grown in deep shade, plants tend to have a more open habit and bloom sparsely. Insects and diseases don't seem to bother this plant.
