Now here’s an interesting plant! It looks like a giant Astilbe, and also requires similar conditions. It is a dense, bushy clump of lacy foliage that grows well in moist, shady locations.
Blooming in early to mid-summer, the white feathery plumes hover above the foliage at a height of 4-5′ tall with a similar width. A fantastic addition to any shady garden.
