Chantilly Lace Goatsbeard

Aruncus 'Chantilly Lace'

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Perennial

Plant Family: Rosaceae

Plant Description: This hybrid of a North American native perennial has a bold display of cream-colored flowers in tall, airy, plume-like spikes in early summer. The serrated compound foliage is an attractive dark green and grows in neat clumps. Provides a similar look to Astilbe, but with more drought tolerance. Great for sun or shade, but in hot regions it may struggle in full sun.

Maintenance:

Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous

Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
