Astilbe has tall feathery flowers, available in pink, white, red and burgundy, and diamond shaped fern like leaves.
When astilbe is used in floristry it has a beautiful softening effect and is a classic flower for use in summer months - especially when used in wedding flowers and flower arrangements.
In the wholesale flower markets cut astilbe is sold in wraps of 10 or 20 stems and is usually no taller than 60cm.
