Astilbe 'White Wings'

42.14720535, -87.78762054

False Goatsbeard

'White Wings' has lovely white plumes tinged with pink sitting on top of dark green foliage. The feathery panicles are very densely packed with tiny flowers which give an extra soft, fluffy appearance. The stems reach a height of 15 to 18 inches in mid summer. 'White Wings' does well in partial shade to shade where it adds a welcome touch of color to a shady garden. It is attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds while it is resistant to rabbits and deer. This is an excellent cut flower. After the blooms have died, the stalks with the dried seed heads are often left in place for winter interest.
