Description of the plant:

Astilbe is a popular perennial with charming, plume-like flowers in summer. Ellie has cream white flowers that fade to green, not brown. Stems are 40-60 cm tall. Leaves are mid green.

Grow astilbe in humus-rich soil. If planted in boggy or regularly watered bed they can sit in full sun, otherwise choose a semi-shaded or shaded location. They are water loving plants and require a good dose of nutrients to look their best. They will not grow in chalky or clay soil that dry out in summer.

Growing conditions and care

For best results divide the clumps every 3-4 years removing old and dead rhizomes in early spring. Also in the spring remove old leaves and last year’s flowers. Fully hardy to about -34°C (USDA zone 4).
