Astilbe Peach Blossom is a relatively compact variety of this popular shade-loving perennial, perfect for the front of your shady border or the edge of a woodland path.Delicate feathery spires are borne in late summer on stems up to 60cm tall in a gorgeous shade of blush pink - highly sought after by florists and gardeners alike.Plant Astilbe in fertile soil which is well-drained and remains moist at all times. A spot in dappled shade where this beautiful plant can shine is perfect.Clumps can be divided after 3-4 years when they have reached an eventual spread of 60cm to maintain vigour.Astilbe make wonderful cut flowers, adding height and textured plumes of colour to the vase, just as they do in the garden.Remove faded foliage in spring to provide light for newly emerging shoots and mulch the base of your plants in autumn with leaf mould.Grow next to other plants which thrive in similar damp conditions such as Actaea, Hosta, Brunnera and Epimediums.
