Astilbe chinensis 'Vision In Pink'

Astilbe chinensis ‘Vision in Pink’ (Chinese Astilbe ‘Vision in Pink’) is a clump‐forming perennial celebrated for its fine, fern‐like foliage and elegant plumes of rose‐pink flowers. Blooming in mid‐summer, slender flower stalks rise above glossy green leaves that take on bronze highlights in autumn, providing multi‐season interest. Preferring part shade to full shade and rich, consistently moist, well‐drained soil, it’s perfect for woodland gardens, shaded borders or containers. Hardy in Canadian zones 3–8, ‘Vision in Pink’ is low‐maintenance and deer‐resistant.
