This is an Astilbe...
by: Shady Gardener

Ellen, Thank you for your comment. Did you know that another name for Astilbe is False Spirea? I Really like that you have the same ones that I have... they have beautiful pink plumes.

Do you still have your tag? If so, is there any other information?
Another type of Astilbe

I have 3 plants that look similar to your's. They look like an Astilbe, except they are somewhat larger than an Astilbe. This plant is called False Spirea.....yes, I know that sounds strange....but that is really what it was called. It gets beautiful pink plumes of flowers on top just like the regular Astilbe, and the leaves look exactly like the leaves on your plant.
