Astilbe ‘Vision in White'

USDA Zone: 3-9

Astilbe are a popular choice for shady gardens, where they perform well if given a rich, moist soil and regular watering. This midsized selection features linen white plumes, over a compact mound of elegant, lacy bronzy-green leaves. Also thrives in tubs, and mixed containers. Excellent for cutting. Seed heads may be removed, or left on the plant for winter interest. Will tolerate full sun, in cool summer regions. USPP#18955, CPBRAF: unlicensed propagation prohibited.
