Astilbe simplicifolia ‘Moulin Rouge’


Dwarf Astilbe

 USDA Zone: 3-9

Plant number: 1.086.930


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

Excellent for a low groundcover or edging. Nice for cutting. Seed heads may be removed, or left on the plant for winter interest. Plants should be divided every 2 to 3 years in early spring. May tolerate full sun in cool summer regions.
