Unlike most aruncus, which are large plants suitable for growing at the back of the border, Aruncus aethusifolius is a dwarf species that can be grown in smaller gardens, and towards the front of the border. It forms a low mound of mid-green, ferny foliage, above which short spikes of cream-white flowers, similar to astilbe, appear in June.
Aruncus aethusifolius is perfect for using in rockeries, container schemes and edging paths. For best results grow in moist or boggy soil, in full sun to partial shade. Remove faded flowers after blooming to encourage repeat flowering.
