Flamingo pink and proud of it, long arching, plump floral fingers extend out,
gracefully cascading from the slightly fragrant, well branched upright
panicles. These tapered, broad, airy towers give a long ladylike showing,
while a handsome dark green clump of glistening, jagged-edged leaflets does
the footwork. An esteemed Astilbe arendsii descendant, ‘Flamingo’ never needs
staking, easily melds mauves and blues, and holds our interest into winter
when its bushy blooms impart rich brown tones. |
