For those unacquainted with Goat's Beard, it gradually spreads forming a clump of attractive, pinnately divided green leaves to 4 feet wide or so. In late spring to early summer immense plumes of white flowers, similar in appearance to those of Astilbe, put on an unrivaled flower show that will certainly get grab the attention of guests or passersby, not to mention the local butterflies. The flowers are also excellent for cutting and use in flower arrangements. In design, it is a spectacular accent in smaller garden spaces or in groupings or drifts in partially to fully shades garden and woodland borders. Though it might tolerate full sun with adequate moisture, it thrives and looks more at home in a shady to partially shaded environment. Over the years we've seen no serious problems with pests or disease and the deer and rabbits in our gardens turn their nose up to it. Much prettier that its name might suggest, Goat's Beard is one of those plants that we think deserves a spot in every garden where it will grow (USDA Zones 3-8) and is one that'll have you always looking forward to its bloom.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWildlife Benefits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eAruncus is a larval host to Dusky Azure the caterpillars of which will appear from April to May.

That said, established plants tolerate short periods of drought. Will tolerate full sun in cool-summer climates provided the soil stays consistently moist.
