Astilbe Ellie

Description

Soft, showy, pure white plumes, rising above glossy leaves; perfect in a shady spot with dappled light; prefers moisture so water regularly for abundant flowers and nice foliage.

Ellie Astilbe is an herbaceous perennial with an upright spreading habit of growth. Its relatively fine texture sets it apart from other garden plants with less refined foliage.  This is a relatively low maintenance plant, and is best cleaned up in early spring before it new season growth. It is a good choice for attracting butterflies but is not particularly attractive to deer who tend to leave it alone in favour of tastier treats.
