Blooming from July until August, the Visions in Pink Astilbe is perfect for adding some elegant color to your garden. Also known as Astilbe chinensis Visions in Pink, this perennial grows to no more than two feet high and develops pale pink flowering spikes above its blue-green leaves. Loved by pollinators, its blooms are also perfect as a cut flower.
With an upright form, the flowers are held aloft strong stems. It is resistant to deer but known to attract both hummingbirds and butterflies. Perfect for summer interest, Visions in Pink Astilbe is suitable for growing in zones 3 to 8. Perhaps best when grown in a group, astilbes are ideal for planting in an herbaceous border that receives dappled shade.
Visions in Pink Astilbe Care
Thriving in partial shade, Astilbes need protection from the harshest midday sun. Visions in Pink Astilbe thrives when grown in well-drained soil that is slightly acidic. It requires moist, but not soggy soil and appreciates a slow-release fertilizer application in spring. Annual mulching will help conserve moisture loss over the hot summer months.
You can deadhead the spent blooms to keep a tidy appearance. In early spring, simply cut back the old foliage before new growth appears. When container grown, regular irrigation is required to prevent the soil from drying out.
Visions in Pink Astilbe Spacing
In the right conditions, Visions in Pink Astilbe can reach 18 to 24 inches tall and 24 to 30 inches wide. A spacing of around 30 inches is ideal when planting en masse.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
