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
