Goat’s Beard is a deciduous, clumping perennial herb in the Rosaceae family. It has erect stems
with alternate and serrate dark green leaves. White flowers, male and female on separate plants, appear above the leaves in May and June. The flowers are star shaped and make great cut flowers. Not only does it attract birds, but it is also a larval host for the Dusky Azure. Goat’s
Beard likes moist soil, so it would make a great addition to a rain garden or around a pond.
