With cool, elegant beauty alone or in combinations, Astilbe enhances the garden from spring to late fall. Tightly clustered buds open slowly to form feathery plumes, eye-catching at every angle. Left uncut, the clusters often dry in place and last well into fall. Fragrant. Fluffy, pure white, cascading plumes. Early bloomer.
