False Spiraea, Meadow Sweet

 

This is a beautiful clumping perennial with soft, graceful plumes of red flowers in spring and early summer. Plants form clumps of bronze-green divided foliage to about two feet tall above which rise the vertical spikes of flowers. Astilbes are versatile plants that are perhaps most effective when massed or incorporated into shady perennial borders.
