Health is the Flora of Today: Astilbe

 



Astilbe 
Astilbe is a genus of 18 species of rhizomatous flowering plants within the family Saxifragaceae, native to mountain ravines and woodlands in Asia and North America
Some species are known by the common names false goat's beard and false spirea
These hardy herbaceous perennials are cultivated by gardeners for their large, handsome, often fern-like foliage and dense, feathery plumes of flowers
They are widely adapted to shade and water-logged conditions, hence they are particularly associated with pond-side planting
