Treat your garden to pure plant ambrosia, Astilbe 'Milk and Honey' – it’s not just incredibly beautiful, but it provides a sweet feast for pollinators and it’s incredibly easy and rewarding to grow. This heavenly plant with its graceful milky-white plumes in summer every year brings softness and light to the garden, particularly dimmer, shady spots or areas with damp soil. Its fluffy flowers, blushed with the lightest puff of powder pink, are just what is needed to illuminate and transform a shady corner or dull area, providing a fantastic focal point. The plumes emerge in mid summer on strong stems, keeping the blooms pleasingly upright and reaching a height of around 70cm. Even before flowering begins, Astilbe 'Milk and Honey' will look glorious with its leafy, deeply divided foliage, adding a note of lushness to borders or large containers in dappled or even full shade.  

Astilbe chinensis 'Milk and Honey' is very floriferous, giving a long season of interest and looking good even after the flowers have faded and dried on the plant. It’s a great option for cut flowers and flower arranging, its fascinating blooms with their hundreds of tiny flowers creating great interest and texture, whether fresh or dried. Also known as false goat’s beard, Astilbe are fantastically robust plants, rarely troubled by pests or diseases and easy to grow and care for. Astilbe 'Milk and Honey' are perfect subjects for a woodland garden, water garden or any shady borders. Create an impressive show in shade by combining with astilbes in other colours, ferns, thalictrum and bergenia.
