Astilbe Japonica 'Peach Blossom', False Spirea 'Peach Blossom', False Goat's Beard 'Peach Blossom', Astilbe × rosea 'Peach Blossom', Astilbe 'Drayton Glory'
Astilbe ‘Peach Blossom’ (Astilbe japonica) is a compact, clump-forming perennial boasting pale peachy-pink flowers held in dense plumes. Blooming in early summer, each plume consists of hundreds of densely packed tiny flowers opening in succession for a long-lasting floral display. They are held on upright, sturdy stems and rise above an attractive mound of fern-like, shiny green leaves. Long-lasting, the flower plumes turn a rich caramel color which provides winter interest to the garden. This charming Astilbe is relatively trouble-free, requires little maintenance, is heavy shade tolerant, and attracts butterflies but is deer and rabbit resistant. The perfect perennial for a shady border with dappled light.
