Astilbe ‘Peach Blossom’ brings soft, warm color to shady gardens with tall plumes of peachy-pink flowers that bloom from late spring into early summer. The upright flower stems rise above low, mounding deep green foliage, creating a refined look that works especially well in group plantings. This long-standing favorite is valued for its gentle coloration, reliable early-season bloom, and excellent performance in moist, shaded landscapes, with flowers that are also well suited for cutting.
