Astilbe simplicifolia ‘Bronze Elegans’
Like other astilbes in the species simplicifolia, Bronze Elegans is a dwarf variety with primarily simple, medium-green leaves that sometimes appear in groups of three.
It is an unusual salmon-pink bloomer with reddish-bronze tones, especially effective as an edging plant in shady areas and near a water feature. Try it in a rain garden.
