Aruncus dioicus

Family: Rosaceae, Genus: Aruncus

Description:

Aruncus dioicus, commonly known as goat's beard, is a flowering perennial native to various regions including Europe, Asia, and North America. It features elegant plumes of feathery white or cream flowers in summer and is dioecious, meaning male and female flowers grow on separate plants. This plant prefers humus-rich soil and thrives in shaded or partially shaded areas. It serves as a host plant for the dusky azure butterfly and is recognized by the Royal Horticultural Society as one of the top 200 plants of the last 200 years. Its tall, astilbe-like appearance makes it a striking addition to moist, well-drained woodland gardens.
