Astilbe simplicifolia 'Key West' - 2026

Astilbe simplicifolia 'Key West' is a charming perennial prized for its soft pink, feathery flower plumes that rise above a neat mound of dark green foliage. Blooming from mid to late summer, its upright, airy flowers provide a delicate vertical accent in shaded borders, woodland gardens, or along water features. The gentle pink blooms offer a subtle contrast with surrounding greenery and other perennials, adding texture and seasonal interest to shaded garden areas.

Thriving in moist, humus-rich soils, Astilbe simplicifolia 'Key West' 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 moisture and cutting back old stems after flowering. Its nectar-rich flowers attract bees and other pollinators, enhancing both ornamental appeal and ecological value in shaded plantings.
