False Goatsbeard
Astilbe Bressingham Beauty
Exquisite, gracefully arching, showy bright pink flower plumes are produced on tall, upright flowering stems in late July. These have a glowing, feathery form and sway in the slightest breeze, helping to add movement to the garden. It has a mound-forming growth habit with attractive, deeply cut mid-green leaves which are bronze-tinted and almost fern-like in appearance. Thriving in moist conditions, it is perfect for growing in the boggy ground near a natural pond or stream. The fluffy pyramids of flowers are also ideal for perking up partially shaded borders or growing in a container to add summer colour to a patio area

Garden Care:
Incorporate lots of well-rotted organic matter into the backfill when planting. Apply generous well rotted organic mulch in early spring and keep well-watered during periods of dry weather. Please Note: Many perennials go ‘dormant’ which, in some cases, means that there is little or no top growth apparent between November and March. If you order perennials whilst they are dormant, they may not be visible above the soil level when purchased but will burst into life in spring. In the dormant period, we may not have stocks of all varieties in all pot sizes and therefore reserve the right to supply 9cm pots instead of 2 litre and adjust the price accordingly.
