The word ‘Aruncus’ comes from the Greek word aryngos (goat’s beard) and refers to the feathery plume of flowers. It is a herbaceous, perennial plant. It is found along the edges of forests and streams, and in moist woods and meadows. The spectacular display of goat’s beard makes it a popular choice for gardeners, particularly those who like to garden with native flora. The plant can be started from seed, but takes a long time to grow and become established. It grows up to 6 feet. The seeds of this plant provide food for birds in autumn and winter.
