Aruncus ‘Misty Lace’
Blooming Time
Exposure
Smaller than its parent, during mid to late spring, ‘Misty Lace’ is covered in dreamy clouds of creamy white flowers atop deep red stems. Its display is immense and provides a delicate gauzy texture that contrasts with its jagged, fernlike foliage. This feature, along with its upright habit, makes it useful in the middle of the garden, especially when used en masse.
