False Spirea, False Goat's Beard 'Superba'
Astilbe chinensis

Although the description says this one grows 6-12" in fact, it reaches to 4 feet!

Astilbe can only be increased from divisions of the root, not as a stem cutting. Your plant does not seem like as Astilbe, rather some member of the Apiaceae (aka Umbelliferae). Members of that family are also only increased by root division.

On DG you can only post one pic at a time.

Cheers,
Todd
