          They like damp soil

            In fact if you let them dry out they die... the only time I've managed to keep them going is when I planted them in a pondside bog garden. They loved it there and flowered their heads off.

              Definitely Astilbe, lovely plant. Can't keep them myself , they need damp conditions.

                Yes - looks very like Astilbe.

                There are 2 hybrids with that pink form - Astilbe x arendsii "Elizabeth Bloom"



                and Astilbe x crispa "Perkeo"

                  There are lots of different Astilbes now and I love them. I actually haven't had any trouble growing them either. I grew three in pots then transferred them to the garden where it is shady but not overly damp. Only thing I find is that the colours fade quite quickly and become brownish. Still lovely structurally though.

                    Aruncus is similar and a bit easier to grow in dryer spots.
