This is the stuff of weddings. Time will literally stand still with the luxurious feathered wisps of Astilbe a. 'Gladstone' swaying gently in the breeze.

You get blooms at various heights and seasons as well as guaranteed vivid green foliage that stands on its own when blooms are spent. Hands down, our White Shady Mix package is the most elegant trio available for a shaded garden.

Moderate growth rate, dormant in winter. Deer tend to avoid. Mature height 18"-25", spacing 12"-18". [ more information ]

Lily Turf 'Monroe White' is dependable and versatile perennial that is low-maintenance and easy to grow. She is covered with lily-like white flowers that emerge on 16 inch scapes. Spacing 25-38". [ more information ]

Convallaria majalis (Lily-of-the-Valley) is a deciduous plant that has lily-like spathe-shaped leaves, 8" long, 3" wide and arching, arise from spreading roots. Lily-of-the-valley will spread slowly to form a thick carpet of green that remains attractive from early spring to late summer. The white bell-shaped fragrant flowers bloom in May and brighten areas of dense shade beneath trees and along north walls where few other plants will grow, much less bloom. Good for erosion control, tolerates summer drought and requires no care other than a mulch to conserve moisture. Moderate growth rate. Marginal in Zone 8. Spacing: 4-8". Mature height 6-10".
