Description

A graceful specimen for a moist and shady area, the Goat's Beard is a native in woods from Oklahoma to Pennsylvania, and can reach 5' in height. The ivory-white flowers are feather-like in long, branching clusters. From May to July, this exhibits a very eye-catching and showy form, and can be used in a fern bed or with other woodland wildflowers. -Holland WIldflower Farm

Water Saving Tip:

Turn sprinklers on and view them operating at least once a month.

Check for and fix missing drip emitters, leaking sprinklers, valves, and pipes. One broken spray sprinkler can waste 100 gallons in a 10 minute watering cycle.
