Long, arching flamingo-pink plumes, drooping gracefully over handsome glossy green foliage. A popular choice for shady gardens, where they perform well in rich, moist soil with regular watering. Ideal for borders, woodland gardens or mass plantings. Excellent cut flowers.

Astilbe is one of the tried and true perennials that even your Grandmother loved. Rest assured, this is not your Grandmother’s Astilbe…it’s your Grandmother’s Astilbe on steroids! Dense, deep green, shimmering, tightly packed foliage forms a mound and a backdrop for 6 to 8″ spikes that rise above the foliage in late May. These spikes develop with buds that open in June to a massive, stunning display of light, silvery-pink flowers that makes your grandmother’s Astilbe look like a 97 pound weakling in comparison. The flower plumes appear much thicker due to the far greater bud count present on them than most other Astilbe. If that is too much information, all you need to know is that you won’t find a better looking Astilbe anywhere!! Younique Silvery Pink™ looks great alone but amazing when grouped in a semi-shaded area with moist, well-drained soil.

Everyone knows Astilbes are the definitive perennials for the shade or woodland garden and this selection is one of the best at filling this niche with color and low maintenance beauty. It’s a sure thing, being deer and rabbit resistant, and butterflies love it for its soft, peachy-pink, airy plumes of bloom that rise above the rich fern-like foliage starting in late May or early June. ‘Peach Blossom’ is one of the most drought-tolerant selections of the genus and it will flower into early July for an extended show you’ll look forward to every year. ‘Peach Blossom’ will tolerate morning sun but make sure it has enough shade so that it dependably lights up a darker area of your landscape.

Delft Lace’ Astilbe has deep red stems that perfectly accent the blue-green, waxy foliage covered with a silver-lacey overlay, much like the foliage of the ever-popular selection ‘Visions’. But what makes ‘Delft Lace’ standout from ‘Visons’ is the softer, more delicately textured yet still powerful bloom. These mighty blooms are strongly held high above the foliage on candy apple red stems. The buds emerge deep salmon-pink and open to a soft apricot-pink. This remarkable Astilbe brightens up any shady area with the enchanting foliage that just keeps growing and growing over the summer months. It does not handle drought well so be sure to provide adequate water throughout the hot summer months.

‘Chocolate Shogun’ Astilbe starts with a mound of rich chocolate maroon, nearly black, foliage. This foliage provides a stunning backdrop for pale pink plumes that open in late June. ‘Chocolate Shogun’ thrives in moist, shady locations. To keep Astilbe looking good for the next year, prune in early spring (the old foliage helps protect the plant from winter damage). Winner of the Silver Medal at Plantarium.

Bright raspberry pink petals surround a bright yellow center above compact, wide-spreading foliage from late summer to early fall. Great planted in masses or in containers. It is also lovely in fall-themed container arrangements, and makes a fine cut flower. Highly resistant to mildew and its increased vigor makes ‘Raspberry Swirl’ an up and coming hero to the fall landscape!

Asters are a beautiful choice for late summer and fall color.The variety Pink Henry is Rich Pink, double flowering. Asters are a flowering perennial that provides a stunning amount of blooms, in unique colors, for fall. Ideal for fall landscape and does great in a container.

Reliable, showy mound-shaped perennial with semi-double pink, daisy-like flowers. Adds great color to the garden in fall. Ideal for wildflower gardens, borders or butterfly gardens. Good cut flowers.

Aster ‘Alert’ calls out to you with its intense, almost glowing pink-red blooms in late summer starting in mid-August. The bloom continues in late September as literally hundreds of these brilliant daisies with short, rounded rays surrounding a bright yellow center coat the plant, totally obscuring the foliage at times. It’s a great show on a compact growing, easy care plant that refuses to be a space hog like many Asters can be. Always in control, ready to shine by itself or in a group, this New York Aster will inject some brightness into your garden while asking for nothing but a full sun location and moist, well-drained soil.
