Astilbe - Visions in Pink
The Astilbe Chinensis Visions in Pink PP#118, 'Astilbe Chinensis', has clear raspberry pink plumes that light up shady garden spaces in spring. Drifts of this Astilbe are stunning when paired with other white blooming shade plants like Japanese Orchids or Peonies. Astilbe needs well drained, but moist and highly organic soil; humusy forest gardens are a perfect example of where these plants will thrive. These spring blooming beauties are ideal for borders, containers, and gardens on the edge of woodlands. Throughout the summer lacy deep green foliage adds ferny texture to garden beds long after the blooms have faded. Astilbe is admired for its attractive foliage and elegant flower plumes. Mass astilbe in groups in partly shaded gardens for maximum color and impact. ... more info
Geranium - Southcombe Double They do best in sun, but will tolerate some degree of shade. The Geranium Southcombe Double, 'Geranium oxonianum', displays fully double, pure pink blooms that sit atop bright green stems. For the most part, cranesbill are long-lived and do not require a lot of care. They are perfect in the perennial border and work well as a ground cover too. Southcombe Double blooms almost non-stop throughout the summer, into fall. There are only a few double-geraniums in cultivation and don't look like a Geranium at first glance.
