Astilbe

Astilbe.

Astilbe's ferny foliage topped with feathery blooms is the perfect contrast to the solid leaf structure of hostas. They are excellent companions in the bright shade / part sun border.

Details:

  • Bloom late spring into summer

  • Come in a variety of colors: white, pinks, reds, lavenders

  • Spread about 2'

  • Heights range from 18" to 36" tall, depending on variety

  • Need to be kept moist for best performance

  • Grow in bright shade or part sun

  • No real pest problems

  • An excellent, textural addition to the garden

Astilbe.
