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.
