Astilbe thunbergii 'Straussenfeder' - 2026

Astilbe thunbergii 'Straussenfeder' is a graceful perennial admired for its soft pink, plume-like flowers that rise elegantly above a tidy mound of deep green foliage. Blooming in early to mid-summer, its airy, upright flowers provide a delicate vertical accent in shaded borders, woodland gardens, or near water features. The gentle pink blooms offer subtle contrast with surrounding greenery and other perennials, adding texture, brightness, and charm to shaded garden spaces.

Thriving in moist, humus-rich soils, Astilbe thunbergii 'Straussenfeder' prefers partial to full shade and performs best when the soil remains consistently damp. Low-maintenance and easy to grow, it benefits from mulching to retain soil moisture and cutting back old stems after flowering. Its nectar-rich blooms attract bees and other pollinators, providing both ornamental appeal and ecological value in shaded plantings.
