A Cloud of Creamy Flowers
Chantilly Lace with a pretty face! Sprays of lacy cream-colored flowers cover the fern-like foliage. A similar look to Astilbe, but Goatsbeard is more drought tolerant. Native to North America. Aruncus is a great backdrop for shorter shade to partial shade-loving perennials. The deeply cut foliage remains attractive all summer to provide nice textural contrast. Aruncus Chantilly Lace is reportedly more humidity tolerant than most Aruncus.

Aruncus General Information

Aruncus is a stately, shrub-like perennial for a moist or partly shaded spot. Ivory white, Astilbe-like plumes top plants in summer. Perfect for a woodland garden or beside water. Foliage remains attractive all summer.

Aruncus Plant Care

May take a season to get going, but once established is long-lived and essentially maintenance free. Rarely required, but if desired may divide every 10 years; however, division tends to be difficult due to tough roots. Trimming spent flowers in midsummer after bloom will stimulate rebloom. Best in moist, rich soil.

Plantable Pots

Our plants are grown in 3.5x3.5x4” plantable pots. Made from 100% biodegradable coconut husk fibers (coir), these pots have tremendous advantages over plastic pots. With better air exchange, this "breathable" pot fosters robust root growth and reduces transplant shock since you can plant the pots directly in the ground. The pot naturally becomes part of the soil on its own over time—no composting required—and since they're made from a renewable resource that requires very little energy, they're earth-friendly too!
