Shade plants are challenging to come by as it is, but flowering shade plants are even harder to come by. Astilbe, a shade flower with charming, delicate foliage and amazingly showy, dense clusters of flowers that resemble an old feather duster, comes in to save the day.

The big, show-stopping flower heads come in various colors, from pure white to dark purple, with many shades in between, including vibrant pinks and deep reds. They're a must-have in every shady garden.
