Giant Goatsbeard
Aruncus dioicus
Majestic and elegant, Giant Goatsbeard is a towering perennial that commands attention in shade and woodland gardens. Known for its impressive, plume-like panicles of creamy white flowers, this native plant blooms in early to mid-summer, creating a stunning vertical accent above lush, deeply cut green foliage.
Giant Goatsbeard thrives in partial to full shade and prefers consistently moist, rich soil, making it ideal for woodland edges, shady borders, and naturalized areas. Its tall, architectural form adds drama and texture to any garden setting, while its sturdy stems hold up well without staking.
