Adds wonderful texture to landscapes!

The colorful, feathery flower spikes of Astilbe, or False Spirea, combined with lush and lacy ornamental foliage make these splendid plants showstoppers for the summer shade garden. Although recommended for shade, most tolerate some sun if kept moist. Fertilize in spring or fall, keep well-watered, allow for good drainage, and divide every 3 years to maintain vigor.
