(Japanese Astilbe, Japanese False Spirea)
Feathery flowerheads and mounds of lush foliage make Astilbe japonica great in woodland and shade gardens throughout the temperate regions of the world. It is native to the cool, humid montain forests of Japan and is a vigorous perennial and spreads slowly to form dense clumps. Japanese spirea is rarely grown in its wild form, taking a back seat to the more available and wider array of flower colors known in the various hybrids of Astilbe.

(Rose Astilbe, Rose False Spirea)
Feathery pastel pink flowerheads and mounds of lush foliage make rose false spirea great in woodland and shade gardens throughout the temperate regions of the world.

Both parents are native to the cool, humid forests of east Asia and are vigorous perennials that spread slowly to form dense clumps.
Graceful mounds of dark...

A clump-forming herbaceous perennial, its native range is northeastern China and North Korea. Slow-growing, creeping rhizome roots eventually create a broad plant in the landscape.
Light green leaves emerge in spring, with softly hairy surfaces. Each blade rises on a long petiole stem that attaches in the blade center. The leaf is...
