Raspberry-pink plumes bloom in mid-summer on dwarf, graceful, fern-like mounds of bronze-green sharply toothed leaves. Astilbe Visions offers a cool color contrast to containers or when placed en masse in the front of the perennial border. Blooming in early to midsummer, the mass of feathery plumes sway in the summer breeze—and they're great as cutflowers too. A great addition to perennial borders, bed plantings or containers.
Astilbe are mainstays of shade and woodland gardens, and combine well with other moisture loving plants like Brunnera, Ligularia, Lobelia and Hosta. It makes a dazzling combination with yellow-green leaves of Hakonechloa macro 'All Gold.'
