Astary® Rose Shades Astilbe Plant

Astilbe arendsii 'Astary® Rose Shades' is one of the most brightly colored varieties, each fluffy flower plume looking similar to a miniature, bright-pink-flocked Christmas tree. Reliable, this herbaceous perennial has exceptional branching, its foliage being dark, glossy green; the better to show off this marvelously eye-catching coloration. Cut this False Spirea for fresh vases or dry them for an everlasting arrangement. Astary Rose Shades is shipped as a bare root, a method we favor for its ability to establish quickly, double in size compared to its potted counterparts within the first season, and omit the necessity for plastic pots—providing an eco-friendly advantage.

Common Names: hybrid astilbe, false spirea, false goat's beard

Astilbe Companion Plants: Ferns, Helleborus, Hosta

Astilbe Plant Care Instructions: Ensure your plants remain consistently hydrated, as allowing them to dry out can be detrimental. The faded flowers may be pruned to encourage further blooming, or left intact to add enduring visual interest to your garden. Come early winter, consider trimming back the foliage to a modest 2 inches above the ground to promote healthy, vibrant growth in the forthcoming spring season.
