Astilbe - Visions in White
The Astilbe Chinensis Visions in White, 'Astilbe Chinensis PPAF', produces soft, white, triangular flowers that float above green foliage. The ‘Visions in White’ is a robust plant with plumes that offer a striking contrast against the smooth and glossy foliage.   Its mound of smooth, glossy, bronze-green leaves adds elegance to the mixed border all season. These spring blooming beauties are also ideal for containers, and gardens on the edge of woodlands.  For maximum color and impact, mass astilbe in groups in partly shaded gardens.  Astilbe needs well drained, but moist and highly organic soil; humusy forest gardens are a perfect example of where these plants will thrive. The bright clear fragrant flowers reflect dappled sunlight in gardens for a dazzling effect.  Drifts of this ‘Visions in White’ Astilbe are stunning and add an elegantly refined display in the landscape! * White plumes * Attractive foliage * Easy to grow
