Astilbe simplicifolia 'Hennie Graafland': False Spirea – Compact with Delicate Pink Plumes

Astilbe simplicifolia 'Hennie Graafland' – Hennie Graafland False Spirea

Astilbe simplicifolia 'Hennie Graafland' is a charming, compact cultivar of the species Astilbe simplicifolia. It forms a neat mound of glossy, deeply divided, mid-green leaves. In mid-summer, it produces airy, arching plumes of soft, shell-pink flowers that are more delicate and less dense than the hybrid arendsii types. The overall effect is light and graceful.

'Hennie Graafland' thrives in partial to full shade and consistently moist, humus-rich soil. It is more compact and slower-spreading than many astilbes, making it ideal for smaller shade gardens, containers, and the front of borders. The foliage remains attractive all season. A refined, elegant astilbe for intimate spaces.
