Like many other plants favored by High Line garden designer Piet Oudolf, Visions in Pink Chinese  Astilbe provides visual interest throughout all four seasons. This year-round performer thrives in moist, shady habitats. Deeply divided green-bronze leaves in spring give way to two-foot-tall plumes of Deep Magenta Flowers in summer. As the flowers fade, the chronicle, skeletal structure remains through the winter, providing both off-season visual interest and important food source for birds.

Photographed on The High Line, This Plant is Visible at Little West 12th to 13th Streets and 17th to 18th Streets.
