Description
The Goat’s beard is a tall, showy plant with feathery looking, cream colored inflorescence above the foliage in early summer. The featured image shows male plants.
It is dioecious (separate male and female plants) as the species name suggests. Plants with male flowers produce a showier bloom than plants with female flowers; we have to grow few seedlings and select them.
It forms large clumps, giving more the impression of a shrub than a perennial plant, with pinnately compound, dark green foliage.
Germination: 2-3 months of cold/moist stratification; the seeds are very fine, sow superficial.
