This distinctive ornamental perennial is valued for its soft salmon-pink flower plumes, textured foliage, and reliable performance in shaded gardens. ‘Delft Lace’ astilbe adds both color and foliage interest, making it a standout choice for moist, low-light landscapes.
Feathery plumes of warm salmon-pink flowers bloom in early to mid-summer above deeply textured, bronze-tinged green foliage. The foliage emerges with coppery tones and matures to rich green, providing season-long interest even after flowering has finished. The overall habit is compact and well-structured, lending itself easily to mixed shade plantings.
Well-suited for home gardens, Astilbe × ‘Delft Lace’ performs best in part shade to full shade and prefers consistently moist, well-drained soil. It is easy-care when properly sited and works especially well in shaded borders, woodland gardens, and moisture-retentive beds.

No. Astilbe × ‘Delft Lace’ is a hybrid cultivar developed from Asian Astilbe species. While it is a popular ornamental for shade gardens, it is not native to the U.S. and does not provide the same ecological value as native perennials.
‘Delft Lace’ is known for its salmon-pink flower plumes with a blush of red that bloom in early to midsummer. It also features deep blue-green foliage with burgundy highlights, giving it standout appeal even when not in bloom. It typically grows 20 to 24 inches tall.
This variety performs best in partial to full shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. It is hardy in USDA zones 4 through 9 and benefits from consistent watering, particularly in hot or dry periods.
Yes. While not native, ‘Delft Lace’ attracts bees, butterflies, and other pollinators when in bloom. However, it does not support native caterpillars or insect larvae, so its overall wildlife value is lower than that of native plants.
Yes. Like most Astilbes, ‘Delft Lace’ is deer- and rabbit-resistant, and it’s considered low-maintenance once established. It’s an excellent choice for shade gardens, woodland borders, or as a colorful accent in moist, partially shaded beds.
