{"product_id":"goatee-goats-beard-72-cell-plug-tray","title":"Goatee Goat's Beard - 72-Cell Plug Tray","description":"\u003cp\u003eGoatee is an unusually free-flowering goat's beard that bursts into clouds of dense cream flower plumes in early summer. Finely cut, dark green leaves add texture before and after bloom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt stays a manageable two feet tall and a bit wider, fitting borders, containers and shade gardens. It adapts to full sun through full shade, though it needs more water in sun and grows slightly taller in shade. Bees visit the flowers, and deer leave it alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDense, feathery, branched plumes of tiny cream flowers 6 to 8 inches long held just above the foliage, so many that they form soft clouds over the plant. Leaves are finely dissected, fern-like and dark green with a slight gloss. The plant forms a rounded, bushy mound 24 to 26 inches tall and 26 to 28 inches wide. At peak bloom it is covered with fluffy cream plumes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGoat's beard wants rich, moist soil and shade, so it belongs in a woodland or shade garden rather than beside lavender; plant it with hostas, ferns and astilbe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrows in full sun to full shade in fertile, humus-rich soil kept evenly moist; in full sun it needs extra water and stays a little shorter. Hardy in USDA zones 3-7. Choose its spot carefully, since established plants are hard to move; it is slow the first couple of years, then fills out. Cut back flower stems after bloom or leave them for winter interest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aruncus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rounded, bushy mound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24–26 in tall × 26–28 in wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA hardiness zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3–7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e full sun, part sun to part shade, full shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom start:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-June\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeak bloom:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late-June\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Flush\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeer resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollinator value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizes and shipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne full 72-cell plug tray: 72 young starter plugs of this variety (cells about 1⅓ in. wide × 2½ in. deep), rooted and ready to pot up into quarts or gallons.
