Astilbe

Astilbe is renowned for its graceful and feathery plumes of flowers, which emerge in late spring to early summer. These plumes add vertical interest and intriguing textures. Astilbe is available in a spectrum of colors including purple, pink, red, and white. Its fern-like, finely textured foliage provides an elegant backdrop for the flowers to shine.

Astilbe is a versatile, resiliant perennial that flourishes in partial shade. Astilbe is often used in landscape designs as a focal point in a shaded area or as a mass planting for a striking display of color and texture. It's ability to thrive in lower-light conditions, coupled with its long lasting blooms, makes astilbe a go-to choice for creating lush, vibrant landscapes.

Astilbe should be planted in an area that receives partial shade and has moist, well-draining soil. The perfect location for astilbe is one that receives morning sun but is shaded in the afternoon to protect it from the intense heat of our summers. Astilbe does not tolerate drought conditions, so it is best to incorporate organic material into the soil when planting and use mulch to prevent water loss from evaporation.
