Astilbe Younique™ ‘Silvery Pink’, commonly known as Astilbe, is a compact, floriferous variety prized for its soft pink plumes and dense, finely cut foliage. Part of the Younique™ series, this astilbe is known for blooming heavily even in its first year and has a more mounded, bushy shape than traditional types. It typically grows 12 to 18 inches tall, making it ideal for small garden spaces, containers, or the front of shaded borders. The silvery-pink blooms appear in early to mid-summer and brighten woodland settings with a light, airy texture.
