Excellent for providing lush color in dappled light areas, Cattleya is one of the largest astilbe cultivars available. Its very tall, elegant form with numerous lilac to pink plumes in mid summer makes this an outstanding focal point in semi shade. This long-lived hybrid will live in full shade but blooms most profusely when sited in partial shade. Rabbit and deer resistant.
