Astilbe japonica ‘Deutschland’, commonly known as Astilbe, is a graceful, clump-forming perennial known for its feathery white flower plumes and deeply cut dark green foliage. Blooming in early to mid-summer, ‘Deutschland’ adds bright contrast and texture to shaded gardens. It typically reaches 1.5 to 2 feet tall and thrives in moist, well-drained soil. This variety is especially effective in woodland edges, shady borders, and alongside water features, where its clean white blooms shine against darker backdrops. It’s also deer-resistant and attractive to pollinators.
