ASTILBE Graafland - Perennial Spiraea - Med 12-18" Plant 18" apart. zone 4-8. Dwarf Astilbe in flowing rose-pink.
General Information
Astilbes lend a refined grace to perennial borders. Lush deeply cut foliage is attractive for the entire season and is colored from green to bronze. Astilbes produce an airy plume in summer that moves with the slightest breeze. Effective anywhere with rich moist soil and partial shade. Deer resistant.

I found this plant to be easy to maintain and very delightful to look at. It makes a wonderful low bordering plant.
I cut the spent blooms and water periodically. I also keep mulch around the plant to hold in the moisture, it works well! It grows great with partial sun/ partial shade.
The second year it grew back even larger than original size. It measured about 20 inches in diameter and about 16 inches in the flowering height.
I would recommend this plant for anyone who prefers an easy maintenance flower garden.

Be sure to cut back faded flower stalks. Extra water may be needed in dry periods. Divide after 3-4 years in spring or fall. Astilbe requires a lot of nutrients, so give it some fertilizer at least once per growing season.
