ICE CREAM FALSE SPIREA

Astilbe arendsii 'Ice Cream' PPAF is commonly referred to as Ice Cream Astilbe or Ice Cream False Spirea. What a luxuriant display for the shade garden! This showy herbaceous perennial features free-flowering, large fluffy bubblegum pink flower plumes on tall reddish-brown stems late in the season. Flowers attract bees, butterflies and other beneficial pollinators. Dark green mounding foliage remains attractive through the summer and is pest and disease free.

Ice Cream Astilbe thrives in dappled shade in rich, organically fertile, evenly moist soils. It is ideal for mass plantings, rock gardens and other dappled shade areas in the garden.

Planting Tips ⓘ

To help Astilbe arendsii types settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in moist, rich soil with a slightly acidic pH. Keep the soil consistently moist. Astilbe arendsii varieties do not tolerate drying out and thrive best when protected from hot, afternoon sun in dappled shade. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
