Description

Display a dreamy cloud-like haze of Aruncus 'Silver Filigree' in your garden and fall in love the texture, movement and ferny softness it bring to the space. Those lacy leaves which emerge in spring are one great thing, but the froth of white flower plumes which top it in early to mid summer are utterly irresistible. The hardy perennial Aruncus 'Silver Filigree' is easy to grow and care for too, thriving in areas which have damp soil. Commonly known as goat's beard, plant in partial shade or in areas surrounding water and it’ll settle into its spot happily, returning every year to be a hazy highlight of the garden, each time more prolifically than the last.

It could be said that clump-forming perennials like Aruncus 'Silver Filigree' are worth their weight in gold in terms of garden value – the fact that their root system gradually increases in size a little each year so that you can enjoy it again and again for years on end, sometimes a lifetime. Find the right spot for it with moist or water retentive soil and it won’t let you down. Aruncus aethusifolius 'Silver Filigree' requires very attention from you to look simply great once it’s established. In the first year, this bare root plant will do best with a little extra pampering, so get it started in a pot and transfer it into the garden after a few months once it looks eager spread its wings and fly the nest.

Useful information

    • Soak the Aruncus 'Silver Filigree' roots in water for 3-6 hours prior to planting

    • Plant your "Goat's beard" bare roots into temporary pots with a multipurpose compost in spring and grow-on in a sheltered spot outdoors

    • Choose a pot which comfortably fits the bare roots. Some have a noticeable crown which should be just below the soil surface with any top growth exposed. Some varieties are a length of root which should be planted lengthways and shallowly (1-2cm deep).

    • Plant out into borders or permanent containers in late spring or early summer once in full growth. Choose a position in sun or shade depending on the variety.
