Description
Astilbe arendsii Astary White is a dwarf compact perennial with glossy dark-green deeply divided foliage and slender stems bearing dense frothy triangular panicles of white flowers.
The June-to-August display suits shaded edging, containers, rain gardens, and waterside planting. Constant summer moisture is essential; hot sun and drought quickly scorch the attractive fern-like leaves.
