Fabulous, feathery, pure white plumes in late spring above deeply cut, bright green leaves. This charming white astilbe is one of the first to flower. For an eye catching display, plant in drifts in a bog garden or moist, humus-rich area of the garden, next to moisture loving plants like rodgersia with large, coarser textured leaves.
How to care for Astilbe Brautschleier (x arendsii):
Ideal for waterside planting or consistently moist garden areas, Astilbe dislike drought and can become scorched in hot sun. Therefore, try to find a spot with reliably moist or boggy soil, where the will receive lightly dappled or indirect light.
To maintain healthy growth, lift and divide large clumps every three to four years in late winter or early spring, discarding any old, woody rhizomes. This will encourage vigorous new growth and continued flowering.
