Astilbe x rosea 'Peach Blossom'

A clear, light rose color is the outstanding characteristic of Astilbe x rosea 'Peach Blossom.' Spikes are heavy with flowers beginning in late June, and the stems are thick and sturdy. These plants are as pretty as they are rugged.

Astilbe is a genus of rugged and beautiful plants for part shade that throw lovely flower spikes above Fern-like foliage in summer. Use them in groups in the woodland border, or mass them to create a ground cover. Bloom varies by variety from mid-June to the end of August; with careful selection, the display can be sustained through most of summer. In evenly moist or wet soil, Astilbes are tough, pest-free, and handsome. The only thing they cannot endure is drought. Astilbe blooms are useful for cutting if they are picked when half open.
