Astilbe white gives shaded, consistently moist corners of the garden weeks of flower colour through the summer months, with fluffy white plumes rising above the foliage. It suits beds or borders that stay damp and get some shade rather than full sun all day. The plant arrives as a single potted specimen, ready to go straight into the ground once you've dug a hole to fit the root ball.
Astilbe white is a herbaceous perennial grown for its arching plumes of fluffy white flowers, which open from June through August above a mound of foliage. It suits shaded or partly shaded parts of the garden, provided the soil can be kept reliably moist, and helps fill damp borders with colour over summer. Each plant is supplied as a single 1 litre pot, ready to plant out directly into damp ground. What sets this plant apart is its tolerance across a range of light levels, from full sun to part shade, while still rewarding gardeners with reliably moist, shaded ground with its best display. Its height suits it to filling gaps in a border without towering over neighbouring plants, and because growth is steady rather than rapid, it settles into existing planting without needing frequent cutting back during the season.
