Little Visions in Pink Astilbe (Astilbe chinensis 'Little Visions in Pink') takes all of the great qualities of full-sized garden Astilbes and shrinks it down to a petite 16 inches tall and wide! This means that you get a long season of colorful bloom as new flowers open when old flowers fade. The flowers are excellent when cut for bouquets, either fresh or dried.

The foliage is a compact ball of highly textured blue-green, fern-like leaves that emerge from the ground each spring. Then, in early summer, spikes of flamingo pink flowers grow up out of the center of the plant. Each spike has hundreds of tiny flowers that open up in succession.

Pollinators and hummingbirds adore these blooms all summer and you will love them in the vase bouquets or lighting up your shade garden. Hardy throughout USDA planting zones 3 to 8, these dwarf Astilbe grow just 1-2 feet in height and width.

Landscape Application:

Astilbe is a classic shade garden ornamental! It is at its best in big drifts in the dappled shade border or under big shade trees where other plants struggle. It is perfect in a natural dappled shade setting or as a groundcover in the shade of a north-facing wall.

This herbaceous perennial will quickly fill in wherever you put it. Its diminutive size makes it a must-have addition to smaller modern gardens or in containers on an urban deck or shaded balcony.

Must-haves for the pollinator garden and cutting garden, Astilbe are gorgeous anywhere you plant them under tree canopies, shaded porches and patios, and in the dappled woodland edges where deer roam without the worry that your landscaping will be nibbled down to the ground.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Astilbe does great in more sun in the coolest of their favored growing zones but prefers partial shade, afternoon shade, and full shade in hotter climates. Plant in any type of well-drained soil with regular moisture access, and Astilbe does well in higher moisture areas and rain gardens. Prune down mounds in the early spring and deadhead old flowers after they fade. Every 3-5 years, you can divide these herbaceous perennials to keep their clumps tidy.
