Peach Blossom Astilbe

Astilbe x rosea 'Peach Blossom' is a beautiful perennial known for its soft, peachy-pink plume-like flowers that bloom in early to mid-summer. The feathery flower clusters rise above attractive, deeply cut, dark green foliage, creating a delicate yet striking contrast. The blooms gradually fade to a pale cream as they mature, adding a touch of elegance to garden borders or shaded areas.

'Peach Blossom' is a hybrid variety that originates from the breeding of different Astilbe species, selected for its soft color and graceful form.

Design tip

The long summer show pairs well with plants that peak earlier, keeping one area interesting for months. Keep it out of hot afternoon sun and layer it with woodland companions for a full, settled look.
