Astilbe - Heart and Soul

The Heart and Soul is a brand new sturdy Astilbe. It is very floriferous, disease resistant, and has glossy foliage.

This astilbe produces strong plants that bloom late spring-early summer. The plant height is 16 - 18 inches. Plant Heart and Soul in full shade to partial sun.

Heart and Soul is very hardy to -25 Degrees F. It combines very well with Heuchera varieties.

The Heart and Soul Astilbe will insert beautiful lavender color into your shade garden. A fantastic plant when used in groups or as a groundcover application.

This plant is an extremely durable, pest free plant.

Astilbes are grown most successfully in rich soil and under partial sun. The biggest key to successful growth of your Astilbes is water....they require a lot of water. The soil must remain moist. If the soil dries out the plant will falter quickly, especially in the sun.

Wait to cut the foliage back until spring as that will protect the plant during the winter. Fertilize Astilbes in late spring before the flowers emerge.

Astilbes can be used as cut flowers, perennial borders or shade gardens with Hosta’s and Ferns.

Astilbe is considered to be deer resistant and will attract hummingbirds.
