False Goatsbeard

Delicate, feathery, rich pink plumes in midsummer above deeply cut, bronze tinted, mid-green leaves. This pretty pink astilbe is one of the taller varieties. Ideal for a moist bog garden or humus-rich border, the beautiful bronze tinted foliage contrasts particularly well with plants like rodgersia with bolder, coarse textured leaves. Though it can grow in drier soils it does need to be in a shady spot.Position: full sun or partial shadeSoil: moist, humus-rich soilRate of Growth: vigorousFlowering period: JulyFlowers: rich pinkOther features: deeply cut, bronze-tinted mid-green leavesHardiness: fully hardy Garden care: Ensure that newly planted astilbes are kept well watered until they are established.
