Aruncus 'Misty Lace' PP 15,798 (Misty Lace Goatsbeard)

Part Sun to Light ShadeZone: 4-7, at least 18" tall Origin: Hybrid

New crop available 7-31-2008 This new goatsbeard got its start as a seedling in the garden of Richard Simon of Maryland's Bluemount Nursery. The three seedlings which were a result of a romantic interlude between the US Aruncus dioicus and the Korean A. aethusifolius were taken by Allan Armitage back to Athens, GA, for summer heat evaluation. One of the seedlings thrived in the hot, humid summers and was christened A. 'Misty Lace'. The 1.5' tall x 2' wide tall clumps of astilbe-like foliage are topped in mid-May with airy pure-white plumes. A. 'Misty Lace' is a perfect size for the smaller garden as well as extending the range for those of us in the aruncus-impaired southeast US. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
