Aruncus dioicus, the giant goat’s beard, is a stately BC native perennial with a circumboreal distribution that grows as a strong but graceful plant with tall, creamy white plumes that liven up any woodland garden with height and presence. Quite long-flowering in moist spots with attractive compound foliage that resembles Astilbe. Grow in sun with good moisture down to part shade. Attracts butterflies, moths and bees. A larval host to the dusky azure butterfly in the eastern US.
