This new astilbe was discovered as a seedling of unknown origin. Delft Lace has deep blue-green, waxy foliage that is covered with a silver-lacey overlay, much like the foliage of the ever popular selection ‘Visions’ with a softer, much more garden-worthy bloom. The mighty blooms are strongly held high above the foliage on candy apple red stems.

The buds emerge deep salmon-pink and open to a soft apricot-pink. 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.
