Astilbe × arendsii 'Cattleya' - 2026

Astilbe × arendsii 'Cattleya' is a striking perennial valued for its dense plumes of rich pink flowers held above lush, divided green foliage. Flowering in early to mid-summer, it provides vibrant colour and graceful texture to shaded borders, woodland gardens, or damp areas around ponds. The airy flower spikes are highly attractive to pollinators, particularly bees and butterflies, making it a valuable plant for wildlife-friendly spaces. It performs best in moist, fertile, humus-rich soils and thrives in partial to full shade, where its long-lasting blooms brighten darker corners of the garden. With low maintenance needs, it benefits from regular watering in dry periods and cutting back after flowering to maintain vigour and encourage healthy growth in following years.
