Astilbe Erica, Astilbe arendsii Erica, Erica Astilbe

Astilbe Erica is an herbaceous perennial grown for its impressive foliage and flowers. The flowers comprise interesting sprays of fluffy, pink plumes produced off upright stems during spring and summer. These contrast nicely with the dark green foliage which emerges red-bronze and ages to the dark green. It grows as a clump to about 60 cm tall and 40 cm wide. Astilbe Erica is a favourite for shaded areas of the gardens, maintaining in a container, planting alongside walkways, including in mixed plantings, adding to cottage gardens, or mass planting for a great display.

Astilbe Erica Details

Astilbe Erica is an herbaceous perennial grown for its impressive foliage and flowers. The flowers comprise interesting sprays of fluffy, pink plumes produced off upright stems during spring and summer. These contrast nicely with the dark green foliage which emerges red-bronze and ages to the dark green. It grows as a clump to about 60 cm tall and 40 cm wide, performing best when planted in a partial shade to full shade position on a well-drained, sheltered site. It is tolerant of boggy ground, light frost only and should not be allowed to dry out during summer. Astilbe Erica is a favourite for shaded areas of the gardens, maintaining in a container, planting alongside walkways, including in mixed plantings, adding to cottage gardens, or mass planting for a great display.
