Ostrich Plume Astilbe (Astilbe × arendsii 'Ostrich Plume') bears erect feathery plumes from June to August and prefers reliably moist, partly shaded sites.

Astilbes carry feathery plumes of tiny flowers on wiry stems above handsome, deeply divided foliage that often emerges bronze or copper before hardening to dark green. The plumes come in white, cream, shell pink, coral, salmon and intense crimson, hold their shape as they dry, and stand well into winter if left. These are plants for damp ground and cool light, superb at a pond margin or in a shaded border, and they resent nothing so much as drying out.
