Astilbe chinensis 'Pumila' - 2026

Astilbe chinensis 'Pumila' is a compact perennial valued for its upright plumes of soft pink flowers that bloom in midsummer above finely divided green foliage. Its delicate, feathery flower spikes add texture and charm, making it ideal for shaded borders, woodland gardens, or pondside plantings. The long-lasting blooms and attractive foliage provide continuous visual interest, perfect for mixed perennial beds or small groupings.

Thriving in humus-rich, consistently moist soil, it prefers partial to full shade and benefits from regular watering during dry periods. Low-maintenance and reliable, 'Pumila' requires only cutting back spent stems after flowering and occasional mulching to retain soil moisture. Its nectar-rich flowers attract pollinators, enhancing both ornamental and ecological value in shaded garden spaces.
