PRODUCT DETAILS

Astilbe is a perennial plant known for its feathery plumes of flowers and attractive foliage. It is a great ground cover for moist, shaded areas, tolerant to heat and temporary drought.

The foliage of Astilbe is typically fern-like and comes in various shades of green, ranging from light green to dark green, sometimes tinged with bronze or reddish hues. The real showstopper, however, is the flowers. Astilbe blooms in summer, producing tall, airy plumes in colors like white, pink, red, or purple, adding vibrant pops of color to shady areas where few other plants thrive.

False goat's beard, also known as Astilbe prefers moist soil, but the soil must drain well. Amend soil, especially clay types, with peat moss, perlite, and coarse sand to improve drainage. Dry soil can be fatal to your plants. However, Astilbe does tolerate dryness better than others.

Astilbe love light to moderate shade, they will burn in full sun.

Create beautiful garden scenes with Astilbe and combine them with your favorite flowers in partial shade where other flowers won’t thrive.
