You will be stunned by one of the whitest Astilbes to date!
Bright green mounds of delicately dissected foilage and 2-foot plumes!
Selected by the Bloom family of Bressingham Gardens in England, 'Snowdrift' offers an exciting color break in Astilbes. It arose as a sport of the popular A. Irrlicht and is one of the whitest Astilbes to date. Bright green mounds of delicately dissected foliage are topped in midsummer by 2-foot plumes of purest white, making it a perfect complement to other Astilbes. Excellent for the shaded border, producing feathery flowerheads all summer that, if left uncut, provide winter landscape interest. Also splendid for dried arrangements. The foliage is deeply incised and graceful, in rich green or bronze. Plant 8 to 12 inches apart in a deep, rich, moist soil with plenty of organic matter. Water well and mulch in hot, dry weather. Zones 4-8.
