This fabulous Astilbe mix includes five fabulous varieties that will remain easy to care for all year long and create a show stopping Summer display in your garden this season! Blooming from July until October, you will witness vibrant shades of red, purple, pink, lilac and white, formed in elegant feathery plumes. Its bushy mound of fresh green foliage makes a wonderful contrast against its bold flowers and are a magnet for pollinating insects! Plant in semi shade and incorporate into moist borders and pondsides where it will thrive! Astilbe is a damp-loving, shade-tolerant perennial that is perfect for providing late summer colour in moist sites, even growing happily as a marginal in a pond or stream where its feet remain permanently wet. Plant astilbes in sun or dappled shade. Astilbe plants require rich fertile soil that remains permanently moist, even in the height of summer. A boggy soil next to a pond or stream is ideal. On drier soils, incorporate plenty of well rotted manure or compost prior to planting and choose a shaded position.
