Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A flurry of large lacy white panicles illuminates the handsome feathered foliage and numerous branching stems. Forging a verdant leafy clump that is shorter and sturdier than the species, this German hybrid dispels all images of a stocky work plant. Its name means “child of two worlds,” and it is indeed otherworldly under tall canopies of Styrax or Maples.
Goatsbeards are much like big white Astilbe. They will tolerate more sun and dry than most Astilbe. Very popular they are easy to work into garden designs. This blooms later than dioicus, with brownish new growth; taxonomically confused. ZONE 4
