Description
Long, slender plumes of pure white flowers rise above a mound of divided green foliage on Astilbe arendsii Diamant in early to midsummer. Its clump-forming growth suits shaded borders, woodland gardens, containers, and waterside plantings.
Grow it in partial to full shade with organically rich, evenly moist soil. Full sun suits cool summers only when moisture stays constant. The flowers can be cut for fresh or dried arrangements, while faded heads may remain for later interest.
