Misty Lace is an exciting new dwarf variety of Aruncus, developed by one of America’s leading experts on perennials. It produces a plentiful display of creamy white flowers in panicles in spring, over attractive ferny foliage with red stems.
Misty Lace is an excellent plant for the border, performing best if given a slightly shaded position or full sun and humus rich soil. Its free-flowering nature and compact habit represent a great improvement over existing varieties.
Aruncus Misty Lace makes an excellent plant for spring sales. Production scheduling trials are in progress, but it is expected to be successful when finished in 1.5 litre to 3 litre containers, or as a bare-root perennial.
