Peach Blossom Astilbe (Astilbe x rosea 'Peach Blossom')
ah-STILL-bee ex ROSE-ee-ah 'Peach Blossom'

Deciduous Perennial Upright, Mounding in the Saxifragaceae Family
Airy plumes of soft peach-pink flowers rise above rich green, fern-like foliage — a graceful hybrid astilbe for shaded borders.
Astilbe x rosea 'Peach Blossom' is an older hybrid astilbe prized for its soft, peachy-pink flower plumes over deep green, finely divided foliage. One of the more drought-tolerant astilbe selections, it forms a tidy clump in the shaded border and blooms in early summer.

Pros

  • Distinctive soft peach-pink flower color, uncommon among astilbes
  • More drought-tolerant than many astilbe selections
  • Deer and rabbit resistant
  • Attracts butterflies

Cons

  • Bloom color can fade in strong sun
  • Prefers consistent moisture despite its relative drought tolerance
  • Foliage dies back completely over winter
Highlights One of the few astilbes with true peach-pink flowers rather than the more common pink, red, or white — a useful color note for a shaded border.

Field-Grown vs. Greenhouse-Grown Plants

Plants which are well-adapted to our local climate are most often field-grown (outside). Field-grown plants are generally cheaper and have the advantage of already somewhat acclimated to our cold winters, but that means they’re not artificially far along in the spring and tend to bloom at the normal time in our area.

Spring annuals and tender perennials are typically grown in Greenhouses so they can be ready and luxurious exactly when customers want them. Some perennials are also “forced” into early bloom in greenhouses. In May, there can be a very big difference between field-grown and greenhouse-grown plants of the same type. The latter typically look good right away (so they’re a great choice where that’s important), but we typically pay a premium for it.

We order from a rotating cast of the best nurseries in the Great Lakes region. It looks like we've offered this plant in the past, but the nurseries we're working with this week don't appear to have it in stock at the moment.

Our goal is to bring as many plants together under "one roof" as possible, so we'll try hard to make it available again in the future!
