Astilbe chinensis pumila 9cm

 

Astilbe pumila is a compact, low-growing perennial that features delicate clusters of soft pink to lavender flower plumes, adding a gentle burst of colour to the garden. The airy blooms rise above its mounding, fern-like green foliage, creating an elegant, ground-covering effect. Perfect for borders, rock gardens, or shaded areas, this variety thrives in moist, well-drained soil and partial to full shade. Blooming in late spring to early summer, Astilbe pumila attracts pollinators and provides long-lasting colour, making it an ideal choice for smaller spaces or adding texture and interest to woodland gardens.

Many garden designers recommend planting Astilbe in groups of three for a balanced, cohesive look. It helps the plants stand out together and creates a lovely flow in your garden. But don't worry—this plant also looks great on its own or in smaller groupings!
