These are a gardeners dream, extremely versatile, weather resistant and pest resistant. They produce a carpet of fern like foliage surrounding beautiful white feathery plumes. They would suit both traditional and modern gardens. Their delicious fragrance will attract bees and other pollinators. They are ideal for placing near a pond due to the fact they thrive in damp locations. However, they are equally impressive when grown in containers. Height 40-50cm. Flowers June to August. First grade roots supplied.

Growing at a glance…
Astilbes are often chosen for borders due to their gorgeous colour and short stature. If clumps become too large for the space, you can divide and replant in fresh soil in Autumn. Plant in well dug, prepared soil, and add a little manure or organic matter if possible. Astilbes thrive in damp locations, particularly at the edge of a pond, but are also great for containers or borders. Soak roots in a bucket of water for 2-3 hours before planting. Dig a hole in the border that’s big enough to house the root system. Firm in gently and water well.
