Long-lasting, strong pink flowers and blue-green foliage. Reblooms well in milder climates if cut back after first flowering. Spent flowers fade to green rather than brown. Sturdy stems feature very full flowers. Deeply incised, rough-textured dark or bronze-green foliage. This tough species is more sun and drought-tolerant than other Astilbes. This collection of drought-tolerant Astilbes with compact habits fills the pot with nice foliage; very floriferous.
