Astilbe are a popular choice for shady gardens, where they perform well if given a rich, moist soil and regular watering. Astilbe ‘Hennie Graafland’ is a dwarf selection that features delicate, shell-pink plumes, over a compact mound of elegant, lacy green leaves. Also thrives in tubs, or mixed containers.  Excellent for a low groundcover or edging.  Nice for cutting.  Seed heads may be removed, or left on the plant for winter interest.  Plants should be divided every 2 to 3 years, in early spring.  Will tolerate full sun, in cool summer regions.
