Goatsbeard

from $6.00

Aruncus dioicus

Native perennial found in moist forest understories and shady stream banks from western so-called Washington to northern so-called California. Goatsbeard is a favorite of hummingbirds and native pollinators, and is a host-plant for native moths and butterflies! There are male and female plants - males grow a burst of showy, feathery white flowers while the female plant grows a smaller, greenish-white plume of flowers that droops beautifully.

Thrives in part-sun to full-shade and moist soils. Excellent in rain gardens and woodland settings.

Grows 3-7’ tall and 3-5’ wide in the summer, and dies back each winter.

This plant is on the Portland Plant List.
