Requires consistently moist soil; do not let dry out between waterings
Easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soils in part shade to full shade. Prefers moist, humusy, organically rich soils. Soils must not be allowed to dry out.  Chinese astilbes are generally noted, however, for having better sun and drought tolerance than other species of astilbe. Removing faded flower stalks will not prolong bloom but may improve plant appearance, particularly if a ground cover look is desired.Divide clumps when overcrowding occurs (every 3-4 years).

TIPS & MAINTENANCE:
Astilbes are long-lived perennials that are most comfortable when grown in rich soil and light shade to filtered sun. They will grow in full shade as well but will not bloom as prolifically there.Though they are easy to grow, Astilbes like lots of water. Fertilize your astilbes in late spring before flowering starts. Wait to cut back the old foliage until spring; it will help protect the plant from winter damage. Astilbes are a beautiful addition to the garden.
