The Astilbe Chinensis Visions in Pink PP#118, 'Astilbe Chinensis', has clear raspberry pink plumes that light up shady garden spaces in spring. Drifts of this Astilbe are stunning when paired with other white blooming shade plants like Japanese Orchids or Peonies. Astilbe is admired for its attractive foliage and elegant flower plumes. These spring blooming beauties are ideal for borders, containers, and gardens on the edge of woodlands. Throughout the summer lacy deep green foliage adds ferny texture to garden beds long after the blooms have faded. Mass astilbe in groups in partly shaded gardens for maximum color and impact. Astilbe needs well drained, but moist and highly organic soil; humusy forest gardens are a perfect example of where these plants will thrive.
