'''''Astilbe''''' ({{pron-en|əˈstɪlbiː}})<ref>''Sunset Western Garden Book,'' 1995:606–607</ref> is a [[genus]] of 18 species perennial, herbaceous [[flowering plant]]s, within the family [[Saxifragaceae]]. Some species are commonly known as False Goat's Beard, and False Spirea. ''Astilbe'' species are native to Asia and North America.
 +
 +
These hardy, herbaceous perennials are cultivated by [[gardener]]s for their large handsome, often fern-like foliage, and dense, feathery plumes of flowers. Astilbes are widely recognized for their profuse blooms in full shade.  They require a peaty soil for their successful cultivation. Numerous [[Hybrid (biology)|hybrids]] have been raised. Astilbe is a tall feathery flowered plant popular as a pond side feature.
