Plant 18" apart. Zone 4-8 Pure rich pink flowers in early July. Carries on the Bressingham tradition of excellence.

Lush deeply cut foliage is attractive for the entire season and is colored from green to bronze. 3' tall, and heavy, wet soils will suit them. Effective anywhere with rich moist soil and partial shade.

A very pretty pastel pink, fragrant astilbe. Medium height (24") it is wonderful paired with other astilbes that bloom at slightly different times.

Since astilbe is a shallow rooted plant, it's very easy to divide and move when necessary. Divide every few years and fertilize well in spring, or throughout the growing season. Keep watered well.
