That is an Astilbe. There are many varieties with new ones coming out all the time.
From the picture that could be serverl different ones from Astible chinensis 'Maggie Daley' or 'Little Vision in Pink', 'Visions' or Astilbe x japonica 'Elizabeth van Veen' or 'Mainz'
I hope that helps! I am a native gardener but cannot help introduce sweeps of astilbe into my gardens when I can! Here is a project I did with lots of Astilbe in Michigan.

What is this? Found a root & put it in a pot in June & it’s now flowering. I thought it might be Astilbe?

Thank you very much for both responses. Based on the leaf I think it is a Astilbe. I'm very happy to know now.

Thank you so much! I actually planted some Astilbe last year and they didn’t grow, so suspect they just hibernated until now! How brilliant!
Thank you all again.

A very helpful reply on our social media "Looks like an astilbe"
"It looks like an Astilbe. Why not pot it up and watch it develop? If it is, you will have lovely plumes of white, pink or red flowers in Summer."
"I think it's an astilbe - best in damp soil but will tolerate elsewhere..."
"Astilbe ...lovely plant not a weed"
If you aren't sure which one, you can add this plant Astilbe (any variety) to your plant list in Shoot.
Hope that helps?

They're certainly not fuchsias! I thought at first they were astilbes, as there are several larger species not so commonly grown. I then though they might be Aruncus, but it seems not. The flattened leaf petiole is a bit of a mystery! Maybe some more pictures in a wee while might give up the secret!

In forum: Identify a plant
Bought some seeds off the internet which were advertised as rare fuchsias(6 colours). Plants don't look like fuchsias but we're identified by someone as astilbes. Beginning to doubt this as !eaves are getting quite large ,and are reddish underneath,much larger than astilbes I already have. Can anyone help.

Could be an astilbe if the flowers are like plumes a plant with similar leaves is filipendula but the flower heads are still fluffy but flatter

It could be an astilbe of some sort.

looks like an astilbe to me my friend ;) Just have to wait and see what color it is now, I have the red, dark pink, white and pale pink varieties they like a damp shady place to thrive. But do have a very large pot in a shady corner with a Burgundy red one in and it's doing well too, so it's adaptable as long as it's quite moist soil.

It's a form of astilbe I think, hopefully it should be flower soon, and that should help to id it a little better

The reddish one in the pot looks like the perennial Astilbe, might be red in colour.

If it bloomed in June, then it might be an an astilbe, but if the stem is woody and bloomed later it could be sorbaria sorbifolium., this shrub suckers a lot and if you are in small garden that could be problem.
