growin' tips...
astilbe
One of the best flowers for light to moderate shade. In average garden soil, requires partial shade; tolerates
full sun where moisture is ample. Most varieties fare poorly in dry soil. Many gardeners find the spent plumes
attractive. Plant 1" deep and space 12-18" apart.
Planting several varieties with staggered bloom times will help keep astilbe color going strong, if you plan your
selections carefully. The bloom times listed are highly dependent on where you live. Mid-season in New Jersey is
early season in North Georgia.
Astilbe should be divided and fertilized very 3-4 years. You'll get more flowers and fuller foliage in just a few
months.
a little history about astilbe...
Astilbe (ass-till bee) are members of the saxifrage family, and are native to Japan and China. However, their
introduction to American gardens came from a German plant collector, George Arends, during the early part of the
twentieth century. This is where the "Arendesii" that follows the scientific name of many astilbe comes
from. Other cultivators were named after his friends and family. |
