| I really want a bright rosy pink astilbe, the taller the better. Any suggestions? I've seen some pictures of cattleya that look like what I want but more of the pictures I see of it are a very light pink color, which I would like to avoid. TIA for any help Krystal |

| According to Santa Rosa Gardens, 'Erika' grows to 24-30" tall and is a rosy pink. Check it out at the link. |

| I noticed on the link it says something about the plant having a darker color in rich soil... maybe that's what mine are missing since I don't remember it being as dark a pink. The foliage is a really nice color though. ....wait, I just tried to find a picture and realized we had a really late freeze which burned all the blooms. maybe I'll be impressed this year! In any case I should give it some food and see if that helps the colors. |
