Aruncus dioicusA stately perennial with fern-like foliage and large plumes of creamy-white flowers held above dark green leaves. Thrives in part sun to shade on moist, humus-rich soils—ideal for woodland gardens, shaded borders, or alongside streams where it pairs elegantly with Hosta spp. for bold foliage contrast, Pulmonaria officinalis (Lungwort) for spotted leaves, and Geum urbanum (Wood Avens) for bright yellow flowers. Known as Goat’s-beard, its architectural form adds year-round interest.

Care: Prefers consistently moist, humus-rich soil. Water regularly to maintain damp conditions, especially during dry periods. Apply a thick organic mulch in spring to feed and retain moisture. Divide clumps every 4–5 years in spring to rejuvenate. Performs best in ground; containers require deep pots (12 inches) and constant moisture.
Allergen Information: Low allergy risk—blooms June–July. Produces minimal pollen but attracts bees; individual sensitivities may vary and can develop over time.
Pet Safety Notice: “Pet Friendly” means this plant is generally considered safe to be touched, sniffed, or ingested by dogs, cats, and rabbits. No plant should be deliberately eaten in large quantities, as digestive upset may occur if it’s unfamiliar to the body. Individual allergies or sensitivities can develop, so Pocket Wilds always suggests supervision when introducing new plants to curious hands, paws, or mouths.
