Description

ASTILBE x ‘Verssilvery Pink’ PP20656. Younique™ Series. 16-20″ tall, 14-18″ spread, early summer-midsummer bloom. This perennial adds a very light pink color to shady areas. These showy and fragrant plumes rise above a nice, compact foliage. Low maintenance. Attracts butterflies and is bee friendly. Deer and rabbit resistant. Zones 4-9. Astilbes are long-lasting perennials that flourish in rich soil with light shade to filtered sun, though they bloom less in full shade. Their key requirement is consistently moist soil, as dryness—especially in sunny spots—can quickly damage the plant, causing leaf browning and drop. Regular watering is essential as foliage and flower plumes develop. Fertilize in late spring before flowering, leave old foliage through winter for protection, and cut it back in early spring. If the crown lifts above the soil, gently press it down and add organic matter. To maintain vigor, divide plants every 3–4 years in early spring.
