Aruncus aethusifolius - Dwarf Goatsbeard

This dwarf species that fits right into the smaller garden scheme. It forms a low mound of light green, ferny foliage, bearing short spikes of creamy-white flowers in June, similar to Astilbe. Excellent for edging, or in the rock garden. Remove faded flowers after blooming just to tidy the plants up for the rest of the season. Consider this also for growing in mixed tubs or containers, or perhaps beside a pond or stream. Easy and reliable, but not a good choice for dry shade situations. Type: Perennial Zone: 3 to 9 Height: 0.75 to 1.00 feet Spread: 1.00 to 1.50 feet Bloom Time: May to June Bloom Description: Ivory Sun: Full sun to part shade Water: Medium to wet Maintenance: Medium Flower: Showy
