Astilbe Pink

Astilbe Pink has apricot-pink full, airy plumes with vivid green, fern-like, semi-glossy foliage. This is really the astilbe that started it all. This perennial thrives in moist, shady locations and is popular for border plantings or alongside water areas. It is generous with its blooms, and holds its plumes nicely above its foliage. The cut flowers are excellent for bouquets and drying.
