About this plant
Astilbe x arendsii 'Rheinland' is a perennial herbaceous plant known for its vibrant green, fern-like foliage and feathery plumes of soft pink flowers. Blooming in early to midsummer, 'Rheinland' produces striking, upright panicles that rise above the dense, bushy clumps of foliage, adding texture and an airy effect to garden beds. Thriving in partial to full shade, this plant prefers moist, well-draining soil and benefits from regular watering during dry periods. Relatively low-maintenance, 'Rheinland' requires minimal pruning and is an excellent choice for enhancing the beauty of shaded garden spaces.

Design tip
Summer flowers carry the middle of the season, so place it where the bed needs color once spring bulbs fade. Cooler light suits it, so tuck it on the north side of a shrub or wall where the soil stays even.
