Astilbe chinensis Pumilla

A dwarf Astilbe with strong and very full flower spikes. Rosy-purple flowers appear in mid to late summer. Only grows to a height of 30cm with a similar spread. Great plant if you can provide the right conditions. Heavier soils, proximity to water & mulching all help. Will tolerate sun or shade but MUST have moist soil during flowering, otherwise buds will fail.
