Astilbe chinensis var. pumila ...

lovely colour:) love astilbes, but already running out of space in my garden.. Tomatoes taking over, lol

Hi Kasy ...
... thanks ... yes... easy to run out of space !
... tomatoes invading ? ...
... at least you can eat the evidence ;o) Lol.

oh, yes... as soon as they will be ready I will do that, lol. The scent of flowering lilies brough plenty of insects to my little garden - so hoping to have plenty of evidence to deal with;-)

Very pretty - unusual colour.

stands out lovely terra

I bought one like yours last month ,Terra..nice colour,so will be well pleased if its like this when it flowers :o)

Very pretty colour, TT.

Thats a very pretty pink looks lovely next to the varigated leaves.

Ours out now, I agree with you re the candy floss.....

Thanks Sheila, Surreylad, Bloomer, Gee, Sixpence and Dotty ...

The colours of these are fascinating ...
... different to other types of astilbe ...

What a lovely astilbe. Mine have all finished flowering now and i can't get them to repeat flower even though i deadhead them.

Hi Rose.. Thanks..

My other astilbes have all finished flowering..
but this variety seems to bloom a little later than the others..

very pretty indeed

Thanks Yorks...
... the camera got the colour just about right ...
possible just a slightly deeper purple in real life ...

Strange, but lovely colored flower, it certainly adds to your colorful garden

Hi Aleyna .. Thank you ...
I'm pleased I planted these in front of the bricks ...
I can see them through the window while I sit at my computer :o)

Lovely TT. Yes they do look like candy floss. lol.
Only have leaves on mine, they seem to be struggling a bit. :o)

someone gave me one of these, they're really unusual aren't they, and soft to feel.

Thanks Linda ...
I hope yours produces some candy floss ...

Hi Fp ... yes, these are unusual ...
... rather fascinating ... :o)

Astilbes are great

Yes, they are aren't they Paul... :o)))

sorry...
... missed your comment when you wrote it in August !

It shal be a very nice sight :o)

The one I bought,has a flower spike about 12" tall now..can't wait for it to open..:o)

This is very pretty. Looks different to the usual type.

Hi Aleyna, Bloomer, Hywel ...
This astilbe has more than lived up to expectations..
I'm very pleased with it :o) Thanks ...

5/5

Mine has been lovely,Terra..it opened up fully,and is just turning brown now..I never expected it to grow so much in a short time ..I am definitely going to have some more next year..quite fancy a white one..will have to check some varieties,as I want one as tall..the 'Fanal' ones I have are shorter than this..

Hi Sfmr and Bloomer ...
Yes, this type of Astilbe is very rewarding to grow.
A white one would be good... I wonder which variety would be best...

I'm sure a GoYer will be able to recommend one Terra..:o)
