Astilbe (False Spirea)
Astilbe, also known as false goat's beard or false spirea, are reliable garden favorites and a great companion to hostas. Because astilbe prefers a moist site it can often be grown beside a pond or stream. Although usually listed as a shade plant, astilbe can grow well in part shade or even full-ish sun as long as there is enough moisture to stop it drying out.
