<< Hi, thanks for the list of astilbes, Paul....yes, it is the chinensis
 pumila that I have now in my garden, and love!!  It just spreads and

 the later part of the season. >>

Another aspect of this astilbe is that it will prosper in dryer soil than the
rest of the family.  I am on a mountainside with all gardens sloped so I
appreciate this astilbe.

I am wondering if other cv's of the chinensis group have some drought
tolerance.
