Maggie Daley Astilbe Plant

The Astilbe chinensis 'Maggie Daley' plant extends the bloom season elegantly into late summer, showcasing vibrant, dense, and fuzzy bright lavender-purple plumes. This later-blooming species is renowned not only for its striking floral spires but also for its deeply incised, coarsely textured foliage, often displaying a captivating bronze-green hue. Maggie Daley 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: chinese 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.
