ASTILBE ROS PEACH BLOSSOM
Grower Notes:

Astilbe japonica 'Peach Blossom' is commonly referred to as Peach Blossom False Spirea. Peach Blossom is a hybrid which is often listed as a japonica cultivar or a x rosea cultivar. It is an easy to grow, compact variety with abundant, light pink plumes over bronze-green, fern-like foliage. Blooming in early summer, their densely packed flower panicles attract butterflies and hummingbirds throughout the growing season. In fall the flower plumes turn a rich caramel color heading into the cool winter months.

Peach Blossom Astilbe is deer and rabbit resistant and thrives in full to partial shade in rich, fertile, evenly moist, well-drained soils. It is ideal for shady perennial or woodland borders. Companion plants for Astilbe include: Rhododendron, Hosta, Ferns, Heuchera, Ligularia and Japanese and Siberian Iris.
