Astilbe Thumbergii 'Ostrich Plume'

Tall Japanese Astilbe

Large arching deep pink dangling plumes on a prolific mound of delicate, lacy green leaves make this cultivar a magnificent to look at. Very attractive and highly scented that magnetized butterflies. Grows moderately reaching 39 inches tall and spread 35 inches wide in clump-forming growth habit. It performs well in partial shade but tolerates full shade conditions in rich, moist soil with regular watering. It also grows in tubs and mixed containers. This taller selection is perfect for cutting, containers and borders.
