Astilbe simplicifolia 'Hennie Graafland'

Astilbe simplicifolia 'Hennie Graafland' is an elegant perennial that stands out with its graceful pink flower plumes above a compact canopy of fresh, dark green foliage. This variety has a refined and natural appearance and is a beautiful choice for borders, shade gardens, and atmospheric plantings. 'Hennie Graafland' can be seen as a taller variant of the well-known Astilbe 'Sprite', causing the flowers to stand out even more clearly above the foliage.

During the flowering period, numerous airy pink flower spikes appear on slender stems. The soft pink color forms a beautiful contrast with the dark, fresh-looking foliage. Thanks to the open structure of the flower plumes, Astilbe 'Hennie Graafland' has a light and elegant appearance, without the plant looking heavy.

A taller variant of Astilbe 'Sprite'

A characteristic feature of 'Hennie Graafland' is the combination of a refined growth habit with greater height. Compared to Astilbe 'Sprite', this variety grows taller, making it excellent for creating extra structure and varying heights in a border. The dark green foliage forms an attractive base and remains decorative even outside the flowering period.

Preferably plant Astilbe simplicifolia 'Hennie Graafland' in a location with partial shade. A nutritious, humus-rich, and moisture-retentive soil provides the best growing conditions. Ensure that the soil remains sufficiently moist during warm and dry periods.

This Astilbe is beautiful in groups, but can also be used among other shade-loving perennials. Combine it, for example, with Hosta, ferns, or Astilbes with white and dark red flowers.

With its pink flower plumes, fresh dark green foliage, and taller growth habit, Astilbe simplicifolia 'Hennie Graafland' is a versatile and graceful addition to the garden.
