Notes
'Flamingo' florist's spiraea (Astilbe 'Flamingo') is a perennial for borders, cottage gardens, shade gardens, and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun to full shade and average to wet, loamy soil. It bears fragrant pink blooms that draw butterflies and grows up to 30 inches tall. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Give it a spot with steady moisture.
Pairs well with Curly Fries hosta, Cinnamon fern, Bloodroot, and Endless Summer hydrangea.
