Astilboides tabularis
Astilboides tabularis is one of the best foliage plants for a dramatic focal point in the shade even in cold climates.
Astilboides tabularis will love your moist soil and dappled shade. Its arching, creamy-white plumes will remind you of a large, drooping Astilbe and its huge, umbrella-like foliage will wow you with its subtropical look even down to zone 3! A great foliage plant for contrasting with finer foliage. Usually listed as zone 4 but shown to be hardy for many years in zone 3 rural Saskatchewan.
