Pumila Astile Chinensis flower seed is the most versatile Astilbe we know! Foliage is deeply incised, coarsely textured, and often bronze-green in color. This petite, rosy-pink variety grows just 8 to 15 inches high and wide in the shade and doesn't start blooming until most others have stopped! Astilbe are clump-forming perennials which feature graceful, fern-like mounds of mostly basal, 2 - 3 ternately compound leaves, usually with sharply-toothed leaflets, and tiny flowers densely packed into erect to arching, plume-like flower panicles rising above the foliage on slender, upright stems.

Many of the cultivars of Astilbe flower seed are dwarf and can be used as a tall ground cover, as an edging or in the front of the perennial flower garden border. Like other astilbes it prefers a moist soil; however, it does tolerate dryness better than other astilbes. Pumila is a neat, very easy-to-grow plant. Even though Astilbe Chinensis performs best in moist soil, these flower seeds are is more tolerant of dry soils than other Astilbes. Pumila is a trouble-free joy. Blooms begin in midsummer and continues until fall.
