Astilbe is a genus of 18 species of perennial, herbaceous flowering plants. Some species are commonly known as False Goat's Beard, and False Spirea. Astilbe species are native to Asia and North America.

Astilbe is a great plant for color and texture in the shade garden, excellent for edging or foreground plantings. They are cultivated by gardeners as hardy herbaceous perennials, for their large handsome, often fern-like foliage, and dense, feathery plumes of flowers from mid-June through September. The flower heads last longer if they are planted to avoid the afternoon sun. Good for cut and dried arrangements.

They thrive best in a moist, peaty soil with organic matter such as mushroom conpost but will grow in most soils. Well suited alongside streams and in bog gardens. They will grow under trees if they get sufficient moisture.
