Aruncus dioicus - 2026

Aruncus dioicus, commonly known as goat’s beard, is a majestic perennial that makes a striking statement in shaded or semi-shaded gardens. It produces tall, arching plumes of tiny creamy white flowers in early to mid-summer, rising well above its lush, finely divided foliage. The feathery blooms resemble those of astilbes but are much larger, giving the plant a bold, architectural presence in borders, woodland gardens, or beside streams and ponds. Its large size and natural elegance make it especially useful as a backdrop or focal point in informal plantings. Over time, it forms impressive clumps, providing both height and texture, while its nectar-rich flowers are attractive to pollinators.
