The Astilbe japonica 'Rheinland' plant bursts into early summer with vivid rose-pink flowers, elegantly held in diamond-shaped panicles above a backdrop of bold, mid-green foliage, sometimes accented with a soft red tinge. Esteemed as one of the premier early pinks, it showcases its vitality through exceptionally floriferous and vigorous blossoms, densely packed in pyramidal clusters. With its lustrous leaves and compelling blooms, this variant not only enriches the garden but also becomes a captivating focal point of the early-season landscape. Rheinland 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 astible, 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.
