ASTILBE 'W.E. Gladstone'( Japonica Group)
Japanese Astilbe, Japanese False Spirea, W.E. Gladstone Japanese Astilbe
One of many striking hybrids of the East Asian native Astilbe japonica, 'W.E. Gladstone' is a clump-forming perennial grown for its large, feathery, creamy white flower clusters in late spring and early summer. They arise on slender stems above ferny clumps of lustrous rich green foliage.
Astilbes in the Japonica Group prefer partial shade and moist, fertile, well-drained soil, but can tolerate drier and sunnier locations. This low-maintenance perennial looks best when planted in groups or mixed with other perennials for shade like Japanese painted fern and hostas. The flowers are excellent for cutting.
