Cultivar Notes -

Goatee

This finely textured Aruncus hybrid is flower powered! Extremely floriferous for a Goat’s Beard, ’Goatee’ springs to life with clouds of dense cream flower panicles in early summer. Dissected dark green leaves provide interest before and after bloom. This perennial tolerates a variety of light conditions, going full sun to full shade. More moisture will be needed to keep ’Goatee’ looking its best in full sun; plants will be slightly taller in shade.

Genus Notes -

Aruncus

Goat’s Beards are clump-forming perennials native to damp, shady woods. With their imposing height and dramatic plumes of tiny, creamy white blossoms, they are magnificent plants for the shade garden.

Goat’s Beard plants and flowers resemble those of Astilbe. They prefer moist soil with partial to full shade. Tall, open plumes bloom early summer.

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.
