Astilbe, with its graceful, fern-like foliage is a great addition to a part-sun to part-shade garden. A hybrid Astilbe, ‘Sprite’ is great for containers or the front of a border with its shell-pink plumes. Soils for Astilbes should be evenly moist and never dry out. Adding compost to make the soil more humusy and rich along with mulch will help your Astilbe produce full flower clusters with hundreds of densely-packed flowers that can be left to produce dried seed heads. Astilbe attracts butterflies and is perfect for a dappled light garden.
