In early to mid-Summer, it produces dense, pyramidal spires of pure white florets that emerge from pale green buds. As the flowers mature, they transition to a soft, elegant cream, standing in striking contrast against its deeply-divided, dark green foliage. Commonly known as False Spirea, 'Ellie' is a moisture-loving perennial that brings a bright, airy feel to shaded corners of the garden. Unlike many other white Astilbes, its dried flower heads remain attractive well into Autumn, turning a warm cinnamon-brown and providing winter structure. It is a robust, clump-forming plant that is virtually pest-free and highly attractive to pollinators. Perfect for damp borders, woodland edges, or the margins of a garden pond, it provides a sophisticated, vertical accent where few other plants can match its floral impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSite: \u003c\/b\u003ePrefers a cool, sheltered spot; ideal for woodland or pondside planting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSoil: \u003c\/b\u003eMust have moisture-retentive, humus-rich soil; does not like drying out\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePosition: \u003c\/b\u003ePartial shade to full shade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeason of interest: \u003c\/b\u003eMidsummer to late summer in particular\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/b\u003e Very hardy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeight: \u003c\/b\u003e2’ (60cm) \u003cb\u003eSpread: \u003c\/b\u003e 1.5-2' (45cm-60cm)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Future Forests","offers":[{"title":"Pot | 9cm","offer_id":53974673228103,"sku":null,"price":4.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0617\/2750\/6590\/files\/Findingphoto_56aad28d-497c-4f09-81e9-e7dc88184a97.webp?v=1775232050","url":"https:\/\/futureforests.ie\/products\/astilbe-ellie","provider":"Future Forests","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
