No Idea What It Is


No Idea What It Is

This plant flowers early and looks delicate but really very robust as wife did empty hot water in it's growing spot.
Next door's cats had a bad toilet night and the smell was terrible. Ever since the plant seem to flowers more profusely.

It's an Astilbe,Tommy..and they are a lovely plant.Lots of different colours and varieties too..They are also hardy..it will die down for winter,and reappear next year..despite the cat and hot water.!..They do like to be kept damp,and preferably shaded..

That did make me laugh - looks like the plant didn't mind though.

Thanks for your advice Bloomer and your laughter Frybo.
The plot of ground that the Astilbe has chosen as home is just perfect as the sun never shines here.
