Astilbe ‘White’ (1 bulb)

Known also as ‘False Goat’s Beard’, Astilbe ‘White’ is a spectacular feathery perennial that produces large white plumes of flowers, surrounded by dense fern like foliage.

They will flower during the summer from July through August and are fully hardy, thriving in damp, shady locations, so are ideal for placing near a pond but equally are impressive in containers or within a shady border. The Astilbe ‘White’ will grow up to 60cm / 24″ in height and it is highly fragrant, and their pleasant aroma will attract plenty of bees and butterflies to the garden. Making them ideal for woodland-style planting schemes, Astilbe’s team up well with other shade-tolerant plants.

Plant into rich soil with plenty of peat and compost. Moisture is essential for good growing results so the soil must never be allowed to dry out. An annual mulch with rich compost is recommended for the best results.
