Bring flower magic to your garden with Sparklers Goat’s Beard, Aruncus. Sprays of creamy white triangular flower plumes appear in summer. Only growing 18″ tall and wide, Sparklers Goat’s Beard is a perfect size for tucking into places in your shade garden. The magic continues in the fall when the lush foliage turns brilliant orange. Goat’s Beard is similar in appearance to Astilbe in the garden, but it is more drought-tolerant.

Goat’s Beard is naturally at home in shady, moist woodland areas but also grows in drier spots once established. It is highly valued as a striking specimen. Goat’s Beard easily mixes well with other shade-loving perennials. Where it is placed should be well thought out, as it does not like to be moved.

Plant in soil that has been amended with compost or organic matter in the shade to part shade. It can be grown in full sun but will require consistent moisture. Plants prefer moist soil. For best results, keep well watered when setting up buds and blooming. It benefits from deep soakings during dry spells.
