Astilbe

Astilbe, commonly called False Spirea, is a perennial that flourishes in shaded areas, prized for its delicate, plume-like flowers and rich, fern-like leaves. This plant is favored for introducing vibrant color and intricate texture to shady garden spaces, with blooms available in pink, red, white, and purple hues. Preferring moist, well-drained soil, Astilbe requires minimal upkeep, making it an excellent choice for woodland gardens, shaded borders, and locations adjacent to water features.
