Astilbe
False Spiraea
Where would gardening be without Astilbes? A natural for soft-looking vertical statements, it’s distinguished by spectacular feathery plumes rising above finely cut foliage of green and bronze. Its hardiness belies its lovely delicate form. Rewarding you with oodles of cut flowers, these easily grown, unflappable perennials prefer to lounge in cool moisture-retentive soil with sun to dappled shade.
Astilbe x rosea ‘Peach Blossom’ (P-0032)
Each 11.75
This stoic beauty puts on the ritz with fern-like, prominently toothed, lustrous green leaflets and petite peach-pink flowers that snugly populate broad graceful plumes. Perfect for chic pastel-colored additions to cut arrangements, fresh or dried, the copious long-lasting blooms alight slender steadfast stems, casting cozy caramel hues in winter. Undaunted by heavy shade, most pests, black walnut trees, rabbits and deer, undemanding ‘Peach Blossom’ entices butterflies, detests drought and looks best when massed. Let its verdant compact mound rollick amongst the dappled light of perennial borders as well as cottage gardens, woodland peripheries plus pond or stream sides.
