The Story
Astilbe chinensis - Maggie Daley (2‑3 eye)
This graceful shade perennial bears tall, airy plumes of lavender‑pink flowers in mid to late summer, rising above a mound of dark, glossy, fern‑like foliage. It is a later‑blooming chinensis type, offering color when many earlier astilbes are past their peak. It tolerates slightly drier soils better than many astilbes (once established) but still thrives in moist, organically rich ground. With moderate height and insect‑resistant traits, it’s ideal for shady borders, woodland gardens, or mass plantings.
