Astilbe ‘Country and Western’


Hybrid Astilbe

Astilbe are a popular choice for shady gardens, where they perform well if given a rich, moist soil and regular watering.

Great in the border, also thrives in tubs or mixed containers. Fertilize in April and June. Excellent for cutting. Seed heads may be removed, or left on the plant for winter interest.
