'Color Flash Lime' Astilbe - A Perfect Plant Made Even Better

I’ve always thought of Astilbe as near perfect plants. They offer every benefit to the gardener: long bloom period, great color, attractive foliage and low, low maintenance. Plant breeders have been working overtime to add even more features to these wonderful plants. ‘Color Flash Lime’ Astilbe brings chartreuse leaves to a plant that was already able to brighten a shady spot. Now it dazzles.

The ‘Color Flash’ Astibles are developing into a series. The original ‘Color Flash’ was tinged with burgundy and purple. In current development are ‘Color Flash Copper’ and ‘Color Flash Red’. Soon it will be possible to have a garden in full color for the entire season, with nothing more than Astilbes. Here are a couple of sneak peeks at the two ‘Color Flash’ plants now on the market. If you don’t already have at least a couple of Astilbes in your garden, see how easy it is to grow great Astilbe. Photo Courtesy of Anthony Tesselaar Plants
