Notes
'Rheinland' florist's spiraea (Astilbe japonica 'Rheinland') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, and shade gardens. 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 forms a tidy clump up to 24 inches tall and wide. Clear pink blooms draw butterflies and bees. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first.
Pairs well with Patriot hosta, Cinnamon fern, and Jack in the pulpit.
