Astilbe thunbergii 'Ostrich Plume' is a striking perennial that adds vertical height and a soft, feathery texture to any garden. With its tall, arching stems and fluffy pink flower plumes, this variety creates a dramatic, elegant display in borders, woodland gardens, or mixed plantings. Known for its lush fern-like foliage and late-blooming flowers, 'Ostrich Plume' is perfect for adding a soft but showy element to your garden design.

Why Choose Astilbe thunbergii 'Ostrich Plume'?

  • Comparison: Compared to other Astilbe varieties, 'Ostrich Plume' offers taller growth and more airy, feathery flower plumes. It provides a more delicate, wispy texture to garden designs, making it perfect for creating contrast with other perennials.
  • Companions: Pair 'Ostrich Plume' with other shade-loving plants like Hosta, Heuchera, or Lobelia to add a soft and sophisticated feel to your garden. It also works well with other moisture-loving plants such as Cimicifuga or Astilbe arendsii to create a lush, vibrant display.

Key Features:

  • Late Summer Blooms: The unique feathery flowers bloom in late summer, creating a second wave of color in the garden, and providing visual interest when many other plants are in the process of fading.
  • Shade and Moisture Tolerant: 'Ostrich Plume' thrives in partial to full shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil, making it perfect for shaded gardens, woodland areas, or areas with consistent moisture.
  • Pollinator-Friendly: The pink flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, contributing to a healthy, biodiverse garden ecosystem.
  • Low Maintenance: 'Ostrich Plume' is easy to care for and pest-resistant, making it a great low-maintenance addition to any garden.
  • Elegant Foliage: The fern-like, glossy green leaves provide a lovely backdrop to the soft pink flowers and remain attractive throughout the growing season.

Care Instructions

Different plants have different watering needs. Check the soil moisture by inserting your finger about an inch into the soil. If it feels dry, water the plant until the water drains from the bottom of the pot. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot.
