Description

Perennial plants essential for compact, heavy, damp, and marshy soils. They are very cold-resistant, never sick, and live for a long time in the same spot. In addition to flowering, the foliage, more or less divided, is often decorative, although it disappears in winter.

Similar in appearance to Aruncus dioicus. Strong stump, light green foliage. Large inflorescences of pure white in a pyramid shape.
