Astilbe 'Rise and Shine' 2 Gallon

Astilbe x chinensis
Also known as False Spirea, Astilbe is a staple for any dappled shade border or woodland garden. A great choice for any gardener wanting to achieve color and texture in shady areas where other flowers won't thrive. 'Rise and Shine' is a hybrid chinensis, or cultivated "nativar" variety, that produces a more solid root structure and more vibrant flower color than the straight species, plus the stemps do not require staking. Water well after planting, and maintain 1" of water, once per week, for the first year. Do not let them dry out. Use an all-purpose, slow-release maintenance fertilizer in spring or at planting, and repeat in summer. Mulch 1-2" to suppress weeds and retain soil moisture. Divide in spring every 3-4 years, after cutting back the foliage.
