This shade lover is showy with it's snow white plumes in late June early July .Beautiful planted in masses.Divide the root ball every two to three years in early spring,and remove all old foliage before the new leaves begin in spring to keep the plant tidy.It prefers the top of the soil to be moist but not soggy.

Tall variety, about 28". White feathery plumes, very graceful looking . Looks really nice as a background to other astilbes which bloom at different times.

Astilbe is a shallow rooted plant and divides easily. Divide clumps every three years or so. Keep well watered and fertilize each spring or throughout the growing season. Does best in partial shade (afternoon), but will take full sun if watered well.
