Acer's Plant of the Month: Astilbe
Zone 4-8 , Height: 6-36”, Spread: 18-30”
Feathery plumes in white, pink, lavender or red will give colorful bloom for much of the summer, depending on the variety. Easy to grow, and very hardy, Astilbes prefer a site which receives light to moderate shade with moist, well-draining soil. As the season advances, supplemental watering and a dense mulch may be necessary as they do not react well to drought conditions. Deer resistant, this plant attracts butterflies and will form well-rounded clumps. Divide overgrown clumps every 3-4 years.
