Astilbe Showstar Details

Astilbe Showstar is an herbaceous perennial grown for its impressive foliage and flowers. An interesting spray of fluffy red, pink, or white flowers are produced during summer. These are complemented with green, fern-like foliage which serves as a lovely backdrop. It grows as a clump to about 30 cm tall and the same wide, performing best when planted in a partial shade to full shade position on a well-drained, sheltered site. It is tolerant light frost only, and boggy ground, but should not be allowed to dry out during summer. Astilbe Showstar is a perfect plant for shaded areas, maintaining in a container, planting alongside walkways, including in mixed plantings, using in cottage gardens, or mass planting. It looks very effective when planted alongside a pond or stream.
