Sprite Astilbe

'Sprite', as its name implies, is a dwarf variety that is perfect for use in containers and the front of borders. It's delicate, shell-pink flowers sit atop a compact mound of elegant, bronzy foliage and are followed by ornamental, rust-colored seed heads which can provide winter interest. Try planting with Bleeding Heart or Hostas for a neat look.
