By the time the hybrid astilbes have just about faded away, these Chinese gals start thinking about blooming. Fluffy pink flowers over attractive clumps of low-growing foliage - real nice for front of border.

| Consider leaving the flower stalks up through winter. The rusty-red plumes still look nice in February. |

We left this plant behind in our Pennsylvania garden (and wish it well); we don't grow it in Houston. About my plant portraits
