Montgomery Astilbe Plant

Astilbe japonica 'Montgomery' offers dark red flower plumes that appear in summer atop glossy dark green leaves. The foliage emerges with a bronze-red tint in spring, ages to dark green, and takes on a red tint in the cooler fall weather. Flowers are excellent for cutting. Plants perform best when planted in part sun locations in consistently moist soil. Deutschland 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: japanese 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.
