Chinese Astilbe

Contact your local store to check availability

Outstanding small scale perennial color for shade. Late summer plumes of rich rose-purple flowers on a smaller compact plant. Color lasts for two months and makes a good cut flower. Focal point in the woodland garden. Good in masses. Deer resistant.
