Astilbe Peach Blossom

Astilbe is a genus of perennial plants, known for its delicate and charming flowers, which add texture and color to any shady space in the garden. These plants are prized for their rain inflorescences, consisting of small flowers clustered on tall and stiff stems, which rise above the attractive foliage. The colors of the flowers vary from white, pink, red to shades of purple and purple, offering a wide range of options for landscape design.

Astilbe leaves are also decorative, varying in shape from lanceolate to oval, with toothed or jagged edges, often with a shiny or tan appearance. The plants prefer shaded or partially shaded places, avoiding direct exposure to the strong sun that can burn their leaves and shorten the flowering period.

Astilbe is valuable in gardens not only for its spectacular flowers, but also for its ability to thrive in wet soils, being an ideal choice for wet areas or near bodies of water. It is a plant that is relatively easy to maintain, requiring soil rich in humus and regular irrigation, especially during periods of drought.

This plant is perfect for borders, as a background for shorter plants or in shade gardens, where it can bring light and color. It is also popular in floral arrangements, due to its long stems and flowers that last well in a vase.

Its resistance to pests and diseases, together with its attractiveness to pollinators such as bees and butterflies, make Astilbe a valuable and sustainable plant in any garden.
