Astilbes are shade- and moisture-loving plants, bearing masses of ferny foliage, from which elegant plumes of feathery flowers appear from late-spring. They do best in woodland garden schemes where their pink or white blooms provide a splash of colour.

Astilbe 'Deutschland' is shorter than other astilbes, and flowers a little earlier. Plants have almost shiny foliage and bear masses of pure white flowers. Grow Astilbe 'Deutschland' with other shade- and moisture-loving plants such as hostas, brunnera and primulas. Cut back plants after flowering and divide every three to four years.
