Offered as an aquatic marginal, this moisture loving, clump-forming perennial is happy in boggy soil where the soil remains moisture-retentive in summer. Astilbe produces glossy, divided, dark-green foliage, and numerous branched, open sprays of pure white flowers giving a plume-like appearance in summer. - Garden care: Plant into heavy, water-retentive soil or shallow water/soil at the margins of a pond. Lift and divide large clumps every three or four years, discarding old, woody rhizomes.
