Astilbe arendsii 'Ice Cream'®

Astilbe arendsii 'Ice Cream'® is a special, tall-growing Astilbe with a fresh and elegant appearance. The plant immediately stands out due to its fluorescent soft pink flower plumes, which contrast beautifully with the glossy, dark green foliage. Thanks to its relatively tall growth habit, 'Ice Cream'® has a slightly different look from many other Astilbe varieties. It is therefore ideally suited for the back of the border and for large pots and containers.

During the flowering period, the airy, soft pink flower spikes emerge well above the dense foliage. The bright pink color has an almost fluorescent glow, creating a striking yet refined color accent. The glossy dark green leaves form a beautiful contrast and provide the plant with a full and attractive base.

Ideal for the back of the border

Thanks to its tall growth habit, Astilbe 'Ice Cream'® is highly suitable for the back section of a perennial border. The flower spikes stand out beautifully above lower plants there, providing extra height and structure. Combine it, for example, with lower Astilbes, Hosta, Heuchera, or ferns for a varied planting.

This Astilbe also comes into its own perfectly in large containers and planters. The combination of height, fresh green foliage, and striking pink flowers makes 'Ice Cream'® an attractive eye-catcher on a terrace or in a larger pot planting.

Preferably plant Astilbe arendsii 'Ice Cream'® in partial shade and in nutritious, humus-rich, and moisture-retentive soil. Ensure sufficient water during warm and dry periods so that the plant can develop optimally.

With its fluorescent soft pink plumes, glossy dark green foliage, and elegant height, Astilbe arendsii 'Ice Cream'® is a distinctive choice for both borders and large containers.
