Angela’s Garden Notes:
Plants Nouveau is proud to present a fantastic new astilbe from AB-Cultivars of The Netherlands.
This plant will outperform ‘Peach Blossom' in garden settings and will be a superior container plant in nursery culture. Imagine Peach Blossom with fantastic foliage and unbreakable red stems and you have Delft Lace. The mighty blooms are held high above the foliage on candy apple red stems. The buds emerge deep salmon-pink and open to a soft apricot-pink.
