Astilbes
Astilbes bring soft texture and feathery movement to the garden, with plume-like flowers that rise above ferny foliage in shades of pink, red, white, or lavender. Blooming in early to midsummer, they thrive in shade or filtered light, adding elegance, color, and grace to woodland borders and moist garden beds.
How to Choose
Bloom color: Plumes range from white and blush through coral to deep red, holding their shape as they dry.
Bloom season: Early, mid and late varieties together can keep plumes going through much of the summer.
Height: Choices run from low, ferny types for edging to varieties that reach four feet in flower.
Moisture: Astilbes need consistently moist soil; dry ground scorches the foliage quickly.
