Astilbe 'Bressingham Beauty' (× arendsii)
false goatsbeard
Delicate, feathery, vivid pink plumes appear in midsummer above serrated, bronze-tinted, mid-green leaves. This astilbe is one of the taller varieties. It's ideal for a moist bog garden or moist border, and the foliage contrasts particularly well with plants like Rodgersia, which have bolder, coarse-textured leaves.
