Aruncus aethusifolius
"Dwarf Goatsbeard"

Blooming This Week (3rd Week of June):

"Goatsbeard"
(Aruncus sp.)

Aruncus dioicus, Giant Goatsbeard, bears large plume-like panicles of creamy white flowers over serrated green foliage. At 48"-60" in height it is an impressive back-of-the-border plant for the moist shaded garden. Aruncus aethusifolius, Dwarf Goatsbeard, is an incomparable foliage plant that sports small creamy spires borne atop a tightly compressed 12" mound of lacy foliage that is absolutely gorgeous in all seasons. It is a wonderful choice for the shaded rock garden or for the front-of-the-border to add textural contrast. We also have a third Goatsbeard, Aruncus' 'Kneiffii' (not pictured here) which is also an amazing foliage plant with narrow almost needle-like leaflet that adds dramatic foliar effect throughout the growing season.
