At maturity, the Vision In Pink Astilbe reaches a height of approximately 32 inches and a width of 24 inches. Its dense, upright habit makes it a great choice for filling in gaps in garden borders.
Yes, the vibrant pink plumes make excellent cut flowers. You can use them fresh in bouquets or dry them to enjoy their texture and color long after the growing season ends.
