Delft Lace Astilbe Plant

Astilbe arendsii 'Delft Lace' is a striking plant that seamlessly unites robustness and delicate beauty, forming a hearty clump of lacy, deep blue-green, waxy foliage highlighted with captivating red accents. In early summer, the plant reveals its stunning floral display as red stems elegantly carry panicles of deep salmon-red buds, which gracefully unfurl into soft, apricot-pink flowers, presenting a delicate and enchanting visual contrast. Delft Lace 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.
