Description
About Astilbes: Easy to grow, tough and hardy, Astilbes are now a mainstay in all good perennial gardens. In fact, American gardeners are in the midst of a passionate love affair with Astilbes. Native to the far east, these beautiful plants and their hybrids have revolutionized the perennial possibilities of moist, shaded American gardens. They are companions of ferns and our favorite annuals, impatiens--one of the few flowers that make big color in full or partial shade.
The vast majority of the scores of hybrids now available are the work of one man, master hybridizer Georg Arends (Yes, that's why you keep seeing arendsii tacked onto hybrid names.) Mr. Arends, working in Ronsdorf, Germany spent decades hybridizing Sedums, Phlox, Campanulas....and his first love, Astilbes. In 1933, Arends introduced 74 different Astilbe cultivars, and there have been hundreds since.
These plume-flowered plants have ultra-handsome fern-like foliage, (usually dark glossy green) and stiff stems that always hold the elegant plumes aloft without any staking. Flower arrangers find the flower plumes are just as handsome in a vase as in a garden.
From tiny dwarfs to big draping hybrids, Astilbes are all quite easy to grow, as long as their ground does not dry out for long. They must have plenty of moisture, so choose your locations carefully.
Our Astilbe Mix is a collection of the following varieties:

Two of five came up
"I planted five, according to instructions, all under the same large tree last spring. Only two came up but did not flower. I hoping for blooms this spring as both have already come back nicely. However no results from 3 of 5 is a pretty poor return."
Astible Mix — phenomenal results!
"I'd never planted bare roots prior to purchasing these astilbes because I'm an impatient gardener. I thought I'd have to wait too long for results but was in for a great surprise. The plants flourished in the second season with fabulous fernlike foliage and then the third year gave their greatest performance with showstopping waves of colorful plumes. Now they are fully mature and have filled a large area so well that I no longer need to mulch!"
Astilbe adds color and texture
"The astilbe tubers arrived in good condition and started to grow above ground within days. I love the colors and heartiness of this ornamental plant. It looks fabulous in flower arrangements, but this first year or two I will let it grow and not disturb it. Looking forward to it not only beautifying the yard but my indoor home as well!"
Good for beginners
"Nice plant. As someone who doesn't know much about outdoor gardening, these were easy. Although the blooms were small, the foliage is nice."
My Astilbe blooming
"Planted my Astilbe about 3 years ago, they are spreading, getting bigger and more beautiful 😍 every year."
i would bye again
"very healthy plants and beautiful blooms."
I would buy again
"I ordered two packs of these (10 bare roots total) and planted them as soon as I got them in the early spring. They all sprang up quickly and two of them even bloomed which I was surprised to see in the first season of planting. I'm very happy with my purchase and would buy again. My only con for this is it wasn't labeled which bare root was for which so I won't know if I ended up planting the same color next to each other until they all bloom hopefully next year but this is just me being nit-picky."
Growing and looking great
"All the bare roots are growing nicely, some plants are even beginning to flower. I'm excited to see which colors and varieties I received--the mystery is part of the fun. I'm pleased with my Astilbe Mix purchase and look forward to watching these grow!"
Exciting to grow
"Received healthy roots and planted them right away in a mostly shady (dappled morning sun) area. They are growing fast! I'm curious to see what varieties I received, but that's part of the mystery. It's been really fun to watch these astilbe grow!"
These are the success story of my order
"All the roots have grown up to be lovely plants and they are starting to bloom."
