Astilbe (Japonica Grp) 'Peach Blossom'

Astilbe (Japonica Grp) 'Peach Blossom' is a beautiful perennial plant known for its delicate and charming flowers. Commonly referred to as False Goat's Beard, this Astilbe variety adds a touch of elegance to any garden or landscape.

The flowers of 'Peach Blossom' are single, meaning they consist of a single layer of petals. The color of these petals is a lovely pink-light blue pink-056D shade, which adds a pop of color to any space. The flowers have no scent, which makes them perfect for those who are sensitive to strong floral fragrances.

In addition to its attractive flowers, 'Peach Blossom' also has Biserrate leaf margins. This means that the edges of its leaves are serrated or toothed, adding an interesting texture to the plant. The main color of the leaves is a lush dark green, which provides a beautiful contrast to the pink flowers.

One important aspect to note about 'Peach Blossom' is its special soil fertility requirements. It thrives in humus-rich soil and has special demands when it comes to soil conditions. It prefers a neutral pH level, specifically in the range of 6.5 to 7.5. It is important to ensure that these requirements are met to promote optimal growth and flowering.

When it comes to light conditions, 'Peach Blossom' prefers semi-shade. This means that it thrives in areas where it receives partial sunlight or filtered light throughout the day. Placing it under a tree canopy or near taller plants can provide the perfect amount of shade for this delicate beauty.

The plant produces inflorescences in the form of panicles, which are branched clusters of flowers. This adds another layer of visual interest to the plant, creating a beautiful display when in bloom. The individual flowers have a small diameter, ranging from 1 to 10 mm, giving them a dainty and refined appearance.

'Peach Blossom' is known for its unicolored flower color distribution. This means that all the petals of each flower in the inflorescence have the same color. This creates a visually appealing and cohesive look when the plant is in full bloom.

In conclusion, Astilbe (Japonica Grp) 'Peach Blossom' is a stunning perennial plant that adds beauty and elegance to any garden. With its single pink-light blue pink-056D flowers, dark green leaves with Biserrate margins, and inflorescences in the form of panicles, it is a true showstopper. However, it requires special soil fertility and prefers semi-shade conditions to thrive. By providing the right care, this False Goat's Beard variety can bring joy and charm to any landscape.
