{"product_id":"aruncus-whirlwind","title":"Aruncus Whirlwind","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor a shady corner that needs some height and softness, Aruncus Whirlwind is worth considering. Commonly known as goat's beard, this hardy perennial sends up elegant, feathery plumes of creamy-white flowers that float above deeply divided, fern-like foliage, creating a woodland feel wherever it's planted.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAruncus Whirlwind is slow to establish, but that patience pays off. Once it settles in, it forms a durable, long-lived clump that asks very little of the gardener from year to year, and the deeply cut foliage stays attractive from spring through to autumn even outside of flowering. The plumes themselves make lovely cut flowers, bringing a soft, airy texture to arrangements that's hard to get from more solid blooms.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBecause it tolerates shade well, this is a useful plant for filling in trickier spots under trees or on the shaded side of the house where many flowering perennials struggle. It pairs beautifully with hostas, ferns and other woodland-style planting, and once mature it can reach an impressive 130-150cm, so give it room to become a real feature.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrowing Aruncus Whirlwind\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSurface sow, or cover very lightly, from August through to October, or again from February through to April. Aim for a germination temperature of 18-22°C, and expect seedlings in 21-42 days, as this variety can be slow to germinate. Aruncus Whirlwind reaches flowering maturity in its second season from transplant, eventually growing to 130-150cm, so it rewards a little patience in the first year or two.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kings Seeds NZ","offers":[{"title":"100 seeds","offer_id":49214771724596,"sku":"F1471.pkt","price":6.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/0555\/6276\/files\/F1471-W.png?v=1785300464","url":"https:\/\/www.kingsseeds.co.nz\/products\/aruncus-whirlwind","provider":"Kings Seeds NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
