Astilbe Premium Mix brightens shady spaces with an array of lavender, pink, red, and white blooms. These reliable perennials grow from 18 to 60 inches tall, producing dense, feathery flower plumes on sturdy stalks from June through August. Their fragrant blooms attract butterflies and bees, while the fern-like foliage adds texture and charm. As the plumes dry on the plant, they turn a soft caramel color, extending their visual appeal for months. Perfect for cutting gardens, borders, and woodland settings, these versatile plants thrive with minimal care.
Featuring Astilbe spp. varieties, commonly called false spirea, this mix is hardy in Zones 4-8. Whether planted near streams, along garden borders, or in containers, these plants bring structure and color to shaded or dappled areas. With proper care, Astilbes will return year after year, forming lush clusters that enhance any garden.
Astilbes flourish in partial shade but adapt well to full shade in hot regions or full sun in cooler climates. They require moist, well-draining, and nutrient-rich soil with a slightly acidic pH. Water regularly to prevent dryness and apply fertilizer in spring to support their abundant blooms. Resistant to deer and rabbits, these perennials are as tough as they are beautiful.
Plant Astilbe Premium Mix roots in spring, 1½ to 2 inches deep, spacing them 18 to 30 inches apart for the best results.
