Product Description

This refined ornamental perennial is valued for its soft silvery-pink flower plumes, compact habit, and dependable performance in shaded gardens. Younique™ ‘Silvery Pink’ astilbe adds gentle color and a polished look to moist, low-light landscapes, making it an easy fit for home gardens.

Dense, upright plumes of soft pink flowers with a silvery sheen bloom in early to mid-summer above finely textured green foliage. The blooms are fuller and more uniform than many traditional astilbes, creating a clean, consistent display. The foliage forms neat mounds that remain attractive throughout the growing season.

Well-suited for home gardens, Astilbe Younique™ ‘Silvery Pink’ 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, mixed perennial beds, and moisture-retentive garden areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Astilbe Younique™ ‘Silvery Pink’ native to the United States?

No. The Younique™ series of Astilbes, including ‘Silvery Pink’, are hybrid cultivars developed from Asian species, primarily native to Japan and China. While well-suited to shade gardens, they are non-native and do not provide the same ecological benefits as native perennials.

What makes ‘Silvery Pink’ different from other Astilbes?

‘Silvery Pink’ is part of the Younique™ series, known for its compact growth habit, early and prolific blooming, and airy, light pink flower plumes. It typically grows 12 to 18 inches tall and wide, making it ideal for small gardens, containers, and the front of shade borders.

What are the ideal growing conditions for Astilbe ‘Silvery Pink’?

This variety prefers partial to full shade and thrives in moist, well-drained, organically rich soil. It is hardy in USDA zones 4 through 9 and performs best with consistent moisture, especially during warmer months, to prevent browning or leaf scorch.

Does ‘Silvery Pink’ attract pollinators?

Yes. While not native, ‘Silvery Pink’ is attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators when in bloom. However, it does not support native insect larvae or offer long-term habitat value for wildlife.

Is Astilbe ‘Silvery Pink’ deer-resistant and easy to maintain?

Yes. Like most Astilbes, it is deer- and rabbit-resistant and low-maintenance once established. It works beautifully in shade gardens, woodland edges, and moist foundation plantings, providing soft color and texture with minimal care.
