The Aruncus Dioicus (Goatsbeard) we grow
We grow the straight species here rather than named cultivars — the plant as it comes, which is usually what you want for pollinators and for anything going into a native planting. Quantities change through the season, so call (763) 742-8774 to check what’s ready.
