Starting for us in mid-May

so be sure to mark the planting spot to prevent unwanted summer spading circumcisions

but it is twice as wide due to the giant tropical green leaves

topped all year with creamy yellow tips that emerge pure white

Many patterned-leaf xheucherellas fade in the intense heat of summer

Astilbe Delft Lace PP 19839 Trachystemon Starting for us in mid-MayAstilbe 'Delft Lace' is a superb astilbe that first appeared in 1998 in a Dutch astilbe field as an open pollinated seedling and subsequently selected by nurseryman Henricus Holtmaat. Astilbe 'Delft Lace' forms a 26" tall x 16" wide vigorous clump of bright red sturdy stems, clothed in lacy dark green foliage edged in red (during cool temperatures) and topped, in spring, with spikes of salmon red buds that open as lightly fragrant pink flowers.
