Aruncus (Goat's Beard)
at Digging Dog
Including Aruncus aethusifolius and Aruncus dioicus Zweiweltenkind
Aruncus
Goat's Beard
When you think of a woodland setting, think
Aruncus. With elegant, feathery ivory
plumes, Goat’s Beard is similar to and combines
well with Astilbe, although it is airier in form. A
terrific understory for tall canopies of Styrax japonicus
or Maples, it thrives in moist soil, and is a natural
beside a pool or stream. Place Aruncus where you
can view it from the south, to take advantage of its
tendency to lean toward the sun. It’s a popular cut flower. Aruncus aethusifolius 
The fine, delicate foliage and small stature of
this tidy dwarf lends itself as a ground cover around
flat stones and rocks. It’s well suited for the
front of the border with broad-leafed Epimediums.
Blooms late May–mid-June. Size: 8" high x 12" wide; hardy to zone 5. Aruncus aethusifolius (P-0995)
Each $6.00

Aruncus dioicus ‘Zweiweltenkind’
Shorter and sturdier than the species, this
German hybrid does well in windy areas. Dispelling all
images of a stocky work plant, its name means “child of two worlds,” and it is indeed otherworldly.
Blooms June–July. Size: 2-1/2' high x 2' wide; hardy to zone 5. Aruncus dioicus Zweiweltenkind (P-0021)
Each $6.50
