Description
Dwarf Chinese Astilbe is an ideal choice for small spaces and shaded gardens in Massachusetts, offering lilac-pink plumes that bloom mid to late summer. The low mounds of emerald green foliage have a fine, fern-like texture that adds softness to garden beds or containers. This astilbe thrives in moist soils and dappled light, making it well-suited for rain gardens or under trees.
A standout groundcover option, Dwarf Chinese Astilbe is low-maintenance and loved by butterflies but ignored by deer. Its long-lasting blooms are great for cut arrangements or naturalized plantings. This compact perennial offers season-long interest with minimal care.
