Astilbe japonica 'Washington' | Washington (japonica) Astilbe

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Astilbe japonica 'Washington' produces elegant plumes of pure white flowers, bringing a soft yet bright presence to shaded garden areas. Blooming in early to midsummer, the pristine flower clusters rise above dense, finely textured green foliage, creating a graceful and layered appearance. Originally developed for garden versatility, this cultivar combines well with other shade-loving plants, adding depth and luminosity to borders and woodland settings.

The delicate, feathery blooms maintain their form as they age, slowly turning a pale buff color, extending visual interest into late summer. ‘Washington’ is especially valued for its ability to create lush, full displays in low-light spaces, where its clear white flowers light up shaded corners. Ideal for fresh-cut arrangements, the long-lasting plumes also work beautifully as dried floral accents, making it a charming addition both indoors and out.
