{"product_id":"astilbe-washington-in-pink","title":"Astilbe Washington In Pink","description":"\u003cp\u003eAstilbe 'Washington in Pink' is a compact herbaceous perennial grown for its soft pink flower plumes and neat green foliage. It forms a tidy clump that fits well in shady borders, woodland-style plantings, and other moist garden areas. The blooms rise above the leaves in early summer and add a light, feathery look. This makes it a good choice for bringing color and texture to places where many flowering plants struggle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plant grows best in soil that stays evenly moist, and it looks especially good when grouped with hostas, ferns, and other shade-loving perennials. It is valued not only for its flowers, but also for its clean mound of leaves through the growing season. The blooms can also be cut for indoor arrangements, which adds to its value. Since it stays fairly compact, it works well near paths and in smaller planting spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCare is simple and suits most gardeners. Spent flower stems can be removed after blooming, while old leaves are best cleared away in early spring before fresh growth starts. Clumps can be divided in spring to make new plants and keep them strong. The plant is usually reliable, though aphids, slugs, powdery mildew, and leaf spot may appear now and then. With good moisture and reasonable spacing, it stays healthy and attractive for many seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Barnswallow Flowers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44798431952947,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0262\/4284\/2675\/files\/4fed3699895c_1050.jpg?v=1788110257","url":"https:\/\/barnswallowflowers.com\/products\/astilbe-washington-in-pink","provider":"Barnswallow Flowers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
