Positive	lmelling	On Nov 12, 2004, lmelling from Ithaca, NY (Zone 5b) wrote: 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.
