Flamingo Astilbe is a mounding herbaceous perennial with sharply toothed dark green fern-like foliage. Feathery erect to arching branched panicles of flamingo pink flowers bloom above the leaves from late spring into summer. Flowers best in part shade and rich, moist soils. Astilbe are deer and rabbit resistant. Flamingo's stems may turn red as the flowers bloom and are more delicate than other cultivars.
