🌿 Satin Pearls Astilbe chinensis– Blush Mist at Daybreak
Bubblegum soft pink feathers drifting like morning haze, lending romance to every stem it touches.
Astilbe ‘Satin Pearls’ offers delicate, pearl‑pink plumes that bring romance and texture to summer designs. Slightly more drought-tolerant than many astilbes, it’s a reliable choice for warm-weather installations. Graceful, fern-like foliage and pollinator-friendly blooms provide designers with softness without fragility. Satin Pearls’ is a standout Chinese astilbe cultivar, celebrated for having the darkest foliage of all astilbes and large, bubblegum‑pink plumes that shimmer with a two‑tone effect — each tiny floret carrying a hot‑pink center. Blooming in mid‑ to late summer, it thrives in part shade to shade and tolerates more heat than many other astilbes. With proper conditioning, stems hold 5–7 days in the vase, offering both lush texture and a vibrant color accent for seasonal designs.
