Aruncus dioicus 'Kneiffii' - 2026

Aruncus dioicus 'Kneiffii' is a distinctive dwarf cultivar of goat’s beard, recognised for its finely dissected, almost fern-like foliage that adds a delicate, textural element to shaded borders and woodland gardens. In early to mid-summer, it produces sprays of small, creamy white flowers in airy plumes, standing in elegant contrast against the finely cut dark green leaves. More compact than the species, 'Kneiffii' is well suited to smaller spaces and pairs beautifully with hostas, ferns, and astilbes in moisture-retentive soils. Its flowers attract pollinators, while the foliage provides season-long interest, maintaining its decorative appeal well after flowering has finished. Hardy and reliable, it thrives in consistently moist soils and brings a graceful yet understated charm to shaded planting schemes.
