The Albo Striata Hakone is very arching as well. I have it on a little slope and it just cascades down it. This pic is from last year and makes me realize that I should probably divide it and thin it out this year....it's definitely vigorous.

Also, saw buds on Bridal Veil astilbe today...now I have to figure out how to fight off whatever it is that is destroying those. The foliage is huge this year....everything is just big this year.
