This Goat's beard becomes quite the garden feature as it grows to be fairly tall and is a striking perennial that stands out from the rest. The creamy white flowers form in plumes above mounds of luscious, mid-green, fern-like leaves. This is a vigorous grower and it will get to around 2m, or taller, with a good spread of up to 1m, so give it room to grow. It is also important to keep this well-watered as it prefers wet sites.
