Has anyone grown Aruncus Dioicus?

Hi all, whilst browsing the web I have come across the above plant also called Goats beard. I think its lovely and I may have an ideal spot for one however when I've looked into growing from seeds they seem a little difficult and quite erratic. I'm happy to buy a plant but would like to give the seeds a go. I have a greenhouse (unheated) but in sun most of the day. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

 

I haven't grown one from seed before but I did buy one for my mum last year . They are very large plants the flowers are taller than me, they don't flower for long few weeks . Ideal for a damp /wet site in afternoon shade.

Depending on how many plants you want I find it easier to buy one plant and divide it , if you want lots of plants seed is the way to go . Think I bought the aruncus from secret garden club ( none in stock at the moment ) but they are not hard to come by.

 

Thanks @Perki
I think 1 plant would be enough being large. (For now ha) I have had a look online at the trusty sites I usually buy from and all out of stock. I'll keep my eyes peeled. Is your mum happy with hers?

 

I don't know I just bought and haven't plant it yet I am always going round with plants . One of my clients has a large one though, it thrives under a silver birch tree . I did get a seed head off it when I cut it back this spring but I've missed placed it so didn't get chance to try from seed.

 

Sounds good.
Your mums a lucky lady
I'm definitely going to give it a go. They look lovely when in flower. The area I have in mind might be a little dry but I can sort that out before planting.
Thanks.

 

Never tried dioicus from seed, but the dwarf Aruncus, A aesthusifolia, seeds itself around for us.

 

It's beautiful @shiney. That's definitely what I'm looking for. I think I'm best buying the plant rather than trying from seed. I'm going on the hunt (virtually) today
