Karensusan63's Garden

False Goat's Beard 'Rheinland'

Genus: Astilbe.

Species: Astilbe x arendsii.

Planted in boggy areas. 60cm height max. This plant is a hybrid. This is denoted by the 'x' in the name. It has the Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit (AGM) symbolised on the plant tags in the Garden Centes with a trophy symbol. It means it's an excellent garden plant. Astilbe likes its roots damp. It will tolerate dryish soils, but it prefers wet and pondsides, so it's very useful here for the areas that collect water due to the soil compaction.
