Strawberry Cake Astilbe Description

As spring turns to summer, pretty, fernlike foliage gives way to gorgeous, deep wine-red plumes. When planted in moist soil, this astilbe stays beautiful well into fall! Strawberry Cake has especially tall, sturdy stems and large plumes to make a big statement in shaded spots. It also pairs well with other shade-loving perennials like hostas and bleeding hearts.Astilbe chinensis
