Astilbe ‘Younique Lilac’ Description

Astilbe ‘Younique Lilac’ is a compact, clump-forming perennial with glossy, divided dark green leaves and toothed margins. It flowers slightly earlier than many traditional astilbes, producing numerous dense lilac-pink plumes in early to midsummer. Reaching around 50cm high and wide, it fits easily near the front of a moist border, in a woodland garden or in a large shaded container. Grow in partial shade in fertile clay or loam that remains consistently moist. It can tolerate boggy conditions but dislikes drought and hot, dry sun. The cool, moist conditions found in many Irish gardens suit it well. Remove faded plumes or leave them standing temporarily for autumn texture.
