Foliage Color Green
Companion Plants Azalea (Azalea); Columbine (Aquilegia); Hosta (Hosta); Bleeding Heart (Dicentra); Brunnera (Brunnera)
Care Instructions Thrives in organically rich, evenly moist, acidic, well-drained soil, sited in bright shade or filtered sun; does not tolerate dry conditions. Mulch to keep roots cool and moist, avoiding the crown. Clip spent blooms for a tidy appearance. Remove old foliage and stems in early spring. Feed in early spring, and again after bloom.
History Astilbes are grouped into the Saxifragaceae, named from the Greek for non-shining to describe the foliage. Of the 14 species, most are from Asia and North America. A. x arendsii hybrids were developed by H. A. Arends, a contemporary 20th century German nurseryman and breeder. They are primarily derived from A. chinensis var. Davidii, which is native to a huge range spanning both China and Mongolia. Other species involved include A. simplicifolia, A. japonica, A. thunbergii and A. astilboides.
Lore Astilbes were originally grown for the cut flower industry in both Europe and Asia.
