{"product_id":"astilbe-chinensis-var-pumila-9cm-potted","title":"Astilbe chinensis var. pumila","description":"\u003cp\u003eAstilbe chinensis var. pumila is a dwarf Chinese astilbe that forms low, spreading carpets of fern-like, toothed leaves. In mid to late summer it sends up narrow, upright spikes of rosy-mauve flowers, the pink blooms tinted by blue anthers. The spikes dry to buff seed heads that keep their shape into winter. It makes good ground cover for moist edges, shady borders and pond margins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrow in sun or partial shade in moisture-retentive soil. Chinese astilbes tolerate drier conditions better than most astilbes, but still perform best where the soil does not dry out. It is fully hardy and dies back in winter. Leave the seed heads for winter interest and cut back in early spring. Lift and divide spreading clumps every few years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lincspplants","offers":[{"title":"9cm Potted","offer_id":54539293884763,"sku":"ASTI-CHI-9CMPOT","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0861\/1590\/9979\/files\/Astilbe-Pumila-001.jpg?v=1794232104","url":"https:\/\/www.lincsplants.com\/products\/astilbe-chinensis-var-pumila-9cm-potted","provider":"Lincspplants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
