Goatsbeard or Goat’s Beard are common names for Aruncus dioicus. This is a tall herbaceous perennial plant, native to North America, Europe and Asia. Thriving in moist, shaded woodlands or garden settings, it features lush fernlike foliage and elegant, plume like clusters of tiny cream or white flowers that bloom from late spring to early summer. These flowers, often likened to a bridal veil, can grow up to six feet tall, making them a striking addition to borders or naturalized areas. Low maintenance and deer-resistant, Goat's Beard is valued for its ability to attract pollinators while adding texture and height to the landscape. It is easily grown in ordinary garden soil.
