Astilbe arendsii ‘Bumalda’

Arendsii ‘Bumalda’ has foamy, full white plumes that have a pink glow and semi-glossy foliage. The icy flowers blush with age to pale pink while contrasting beautifully with the reddish stems and deep, dark bronze-green infused foliage. This perennial thrives in moist, shady locations and is popular for border plantings or alongside water areas. One of the very best white astilbes. Very pretty with small to medium size gold-leafed hostas like Gold Standard. Plant in groups for maximum impact.
