| Plant ID: | 395 |
| Latin Name: | Astilbe 'Deutschland' |
| Common: | Astilbe 'Deutschland' |
| Plant Type: | 10 |
| Height/Width: | 24in x 16in |
| Sun Pref: | Part shade/shade |
| Bloom Time: | Early/mid-summer |
| Notes: | Perfect perennial to dress up a shaded area. Looks great planted with hostas. The flower plumes also make good cutflowers. Mound-shaped perennials with fernlike foliage produce dozens of soft feathery flowers on 20-40" tall spikes in late spring to early summer. Astilbes thrive when planted by a waterside, but they grow well anywhere and are not fussy about soil. |
| Care: | Can tolerate more sun in boggy sites. Won't thrive in alkaline or heavy clay soils that dry out in the summer. Fertile, organic soil, that retains moisture, but not soggy. |
| pH: | 0 |
