Borne on slender, erect to gracefully arching stems, the airy panicles are dense with tiny, star-like flowers and rise above a low, graceful, fern-like mound of lacy green leaves. The long-lasting flowers make excellent cuts for fresh and dried arrangements, and the end-of-season seed heads add ornamental interest to the late-season garden. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eTypical of \u003ci\u003eAstilbe chinensis\u003c\/i\u003e, commonly called Chinese astilbe, false spirea, or goat's beard, 'Veronica Klose' is a dense, leafy, clump-forming plant. It has an upright, compact habit and slowly spreads by rhizomes. The plant works well as a specimen or container plant, but it works equally well grouped or massed in mixed beds and borders, especially in shade gardens and along water features. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eEasy to grow and low maintenance, astilbe grows best in dappled sun to full shade locations with organically rich, humusy, moist, well-drained, soil. The plant should not be allowed to dry out; however, Chinese astilbe varieties are noted for having better sun and drought tolerance than most x arendsii hybrids. 'Veronica Klose' False Spirea tolerates full sun in cool climates if well-watered, and best flowering occurs with some sun. Deer resistant and virtually pest free. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"parkseed","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42354558861371,"sku":"29521","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/8580\/4859\/files\/Product_MediaImage_29521_1.jpg?v=1753891869","url":"https:\/\/www.parkseed.mom\/products\/astilbe-veronica-klose-false-spirea-29521","provider":"Park Seed","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
