An old-fashioned favorite! Astilbe ‘Peach Blossom' has light pink blooms atop 30" tall plants. The lacy foliage is glossier than many Astilbes. Blooms in Mid-season in the part-shade garden. Keep soil consistently moist for season long enjoyment. ‘Peach Blossom' is nice when used as a cut flower in fresh arrangements.

Astilbe - Simplicifolia Group

Astilbe ‘Hennie Graafland’
False Spirea  (Zone 4)
Soft-pink flower plumes bloom atop dark green glossy foliage in Mid season. The simplicifolia types bloom approximately 4-6 weeks later than many of the other Astilbes, so they are nice to use in combination to extend the bloom time in the part-shade garden. Grows to 16" tall in part-shade and must not be allowed to dry out. This is an improvement of Astilbe ‘Sprite’.
...............Not available for 2009.
