It blooms in midsummer, extending astilbe color into the later season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts large, clear green, coarsely textured leaves form a robust clump 14 to 16 inches tall. Use it in containers, at the front of shaded borders or massed as a groundcover. It tolerates a bit more sun and dryness than most astilbes, and deer and rabbits leave it alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDense, pyramid-shaped plumes 5 to 7 inches long of tiny raspberry pink flowers, held upright on sturdy stems just above the leaves. Leaves are large, compound, coarsely textured and clear green. The plant is a robust, compact clump 14 to 16 inches tall and 12 to 15 inches wide. At peak bloom it is topped with rich raspberry pink pyramids.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAstilbe needs moist, rich soil and shade, the opposite of lavender's dry, sunny bed, so plant it in a shade garden or along a damp woodland edge with hostas and ferns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrow in part shade in rich, moist soil; this Chinese type tolerates more sun and short dry spells than other astilbes, but performs far better with steady moisture.
