Astilbe chinensis 'Vision in White' | Vision in White Astilbe
DESCRIPTION
Astilbe chinensis 'Vision in White' brings a graceful touch to shaded gardens with its dense plumes of pure white flowers. These feathery spikes bloom in mid to late summer, creating a luminous effect that contrasts beautifully with its dark, glossy foliage. Originating from the woodlands of East Asia, this variety was bred to thrive in lower light and adds elegance to shady spots.
This astilbe’s flowers emerge above the finely textured, deeply divided leaves, lending depth and interest to garden beds and borders. 'Vision in White' performs beautifully as a companion to hostas, ferns, and other shade-loving plants, and its blooms are well-suited for fresh arrangements. As the season progresses, the flowers dry in place, adding a soft architectural element that lasts well into autumn.
