How tall do chantilly lace Goatsbeard grow?

Goat’s Beard, also known as Aruncus, is a lovely perennial plant that adds grace and beauty to any garden or landscape. One popular variety of Goat’s Beard is ‘Chantilly Lace’. When it comes to the height of ‘Chantilly Lace’ Goatsbeard, it can vary depending on the growing conditions.

In general, ‘Chantilly Lace’ Goatsbeard will be shorter if it is grown in full sun. When exposed to ample sunlight, this variety tends to reach a height of around 24 inches. The shorter stature is likely due to the increased sunlight, which can limit the plant’s vertical growth.

On the other hand, if ‘Chantilly Lace’ Goatsbeard is grown in shade or a sun-filtered area, it has the potential to grow taller. In these conditions, it can reach a height of approximately 30 to 32 inches. The shade provides a more favorable environment for the plant to stretch out and reach its full potential.

It’s important to note that these height ranges are not set in stone and can vary depending on factors such as soil quality, moisture levels, and overall growing conditions. Additionally, individual plants may exhibit slight variations in height even within the same growing conditions.

One personal experience I have had with ‘Chantilly Lace’ Goatsbeard is growing it in a partially shaded area of my garden. The plants reached a height of about 28 inches, which was slightly shorter than the maximum height mentioned earlier. However, they still added a graceful touch to the garden and complemented other shade-loving plants beautifully.

The height of ‘Chantilly Lace’ Goatsbeard can range from around 24 inches if grown in full sun to 30-32 inches if grown in shade or a sun-filtered area. These height variations add versatility to this plant, allowing it to adapt to different growing conditions and fit seamlessly into various garden designs.
