Astilbe Guide: How to Grow and Care for Astilbe Flowers
Discover the allure of astilbes: robust, shade-loving perennials with vibrant blooms and fern-like foliage, perfect for adding color and texture to your garden.
Astilbes flourish in partial shade to full shade. Morning light and afternoon shade are ideal to prevent foliage scorching. Optimal for a lush shade garden.
Astilbes thrive in well-drained, organic-rich, slightly acidic soil. Maintain consistent moisture and mulch to retain it, placing the crown at soil level.
For thriving astilbes, enrich soil with compost at planting. Feed with balanced fertilizer in growing season and mulch in late fall for winter protection.
