Elegant shade-loving perennials with soft, feathery flower plumes, bringing graceful colour and texture to woodland gardens, borders and containers.

Astilbe plants are prized for their delicate, plume-like flower spikes that rise above lush mounds of finely divided foliage. The airy blooms appear in early to mid-summer, creating soft, elegant displays that brighten shaded garden spaces. Their fern-like leaves provide attractive texture throughout the growing season, while the upright flower plumes add height and movement to planting schemes. Growing to approximately 50–70cm tall with a similar spread, Astilbe are ideal for borders, woodland gardens and containers where consistent moisture and partial shade help them thrive.

Supplied as strong, well-established 23cm (5L) pot-grown plants, these are healthy, garden-ready specimens with robust root systems prepared for reliable establishment. Professionally grown in peat-free compost at our UK nursery in Yorkshire and delivered in plastic-free packaging, they offer a sustainable way to introduce refined colour and soft texture into shaded outdoor spaces.
