| Flower Description |
| The Astilbe simplicifolia ‘Hennie Graafland’ flowers have an overall bright pink colour, because each section of the plume has a deep rose pink centre, with a soft pink around it. The flowers keep their intense colour for about 3 weeks, and then slowly fade to a neutral tan colour. When autumn comes, these brown flower plumes fit in with the natural autumn colours. In winter, the naturally dried flowers provide interest in the garden, rising above the snow. |
