Astilbe x arendsii 'Brautschleier' | Astilbe Bridal Veil
DESCRIPTION
Astilbe x arendsii 'Brautschleier', known as Bridal Veil, graces the garden with elegant, feathery plumes of pure white flowers that bloom in early to midsummer. These soft, cloud-like flower clusters sit atop green, finely textured foliage, creating a beautiful contrast that brings brightness and texture to shaded garden areas. The airy blooms have a graceful, cascading quality, adding movement and lightness to mixed borders and shaded beds.
This hybrid Astilbe, developed in Europe, is well-suited to woodland settings and shaded areas where it thrives in moist, cool soils. 'Brautschleier' is especially valued in shade gardens, where its delicate flowers and lush foliage create an enchanting effect. It pairs well with other shade-loving perennials, adding structure and elegance that enhance the depth and visual interest of garden plantings throughout the growing season.
