Pumila Astilbe

Inject some life into your shady spots with this pint-sized powerhouse of the garden world! This astilbe isn’t your average wallflower, spreading to form a lush carpet of dark green, fernlike foliage. Come mid to late summer, it puts on a show with spikes of lavender lilac blooms that smell as good as they look. At just 10-12" tall, it's perfect for those tricky spots, such as a border edge or near a pond. Recipient of the RHS Award of Garden Merit in 1993.
