| Most Goat’s Beard are large plants for the back of the border, but this is a dwarf species that fits right into the smaller garden scheme. It forms a low mound of light green, ferny foliage, bearing short spikes of creamy-white flowers in June, similar to Astilbe. Excellent for edging, or in the rock garden. Remove faded flowers after blooming just to tidy the plants up for the rest of the season. Consider this also for growing in mixed tubs or containers, or perhaps beside a pond or stream. Easy and reliable, but not a good choice for dry shade situations.

What others say about this plant...
|
Plant Dwarf Korean Goat's Beard alongside a path in afternoon shade, and you won't be able to resist bending down to stroke its dense mounds of foliage every time you walk by! This well-behaved perennial is an ideal candidate for 'control-freaks' who insist on neat and tidy gardens at all times.; Kevin Ward, Zone 5", |
