Notes: This finely textured Aruncus hybrid is flower powered! Extremely floriferous for a Goat's Beard, 'Goatee' springs to life with clouds of dense cream flower panicles in early summer. Dissected dark green leaves provide interest before and after bloom. This perennial tolerates a variety of light conditions, going full sun to full shade. More moisture will be needed to keep 'Goatee' looking its best in full sun; plants will be slightly taller in shade.
