Aruncus Dioicus

Aruncus dioicus

Aruncus is an outstanding specimen plant for the partially shaded garden. Closely resembling a very large white Astilbe plant. Goat's Beard has similar foliage and feathery, creamy white flower plumes up to 1 foot long that are held above the foliage. Make sure to give it plenty of room to grow when you first plant it as transplanting a mature Aruncus can be a very difficult task. Aruncus are native to North America.

Aruncus Dioicus Plants for Sale Online

Aruncus dioicus or Goatsbeard is a fantastic native perennial with large, fine-textured feathery blooms in late spring resemble a large Astilbe. Aruncus plants can reach a spread of 4 feet or more when sited correctly. It is lovely when used at the edge of the woods, where the white plumes are highlighted against the woodland's dark background.

In the northern part of its range, Aruncus Dioicus is far more tolerant of the hot afternoon sun than in the Southern part. Although they prefer partial shade and consistent moisture, a moist sunny site will work well in cooler climates. Goat's beard will survive periods of drought, but the foliage will brown around the edges during periods of drought.
