The national collection of Astilbe, seen here at Holehird Gardens in Ambleside. Also know as False Goat's Beard, a great perennial for introducing vivid feathery fern like summer blooms into that shade area of your garden. Native to Asia and North America they can be used throughout the border ranging in height from 20 - 120cm, but need to be planted in moisture retentive fertile soil.
