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:

In shrub areas, convert from spray sprinklers to bubbler or drip systems that apply water directly to roots.

Occasionally check the soil's moisture level around shrubs before and after watering to determine if watering times are appropriate.
