ON THIS PLANT
Astilbe is considered one of the easiest flowering perennials to grow. With its plume-like blossoms in pink, red, and white hues, astilbe is a long-lasting and long-blooming plant that adds soft shades of color to any home or garden. Its flowers are lightly held on tall, rigid stalks above even airier foliage. Although slow-growing, astilbe is relatively low-maintenance and problem-free. These are best planted in the spring or fall and, once fully established, will bloom for many years.
