Astilbe Delft Lace, Astilbe 'Delft Lace' PPAF, will brighten up your landscape with this lacy beauty. The waxy foliage is a deep blue-green with a light silver overlay that gives it a unique look and added excitement as a seasonal garden player. Astilbe 'Delft Lace' PPAF flowers in midsummer with clusters of deep salmon pink buds that open to a soft apricot pink. This new variety is reported to have more attractive foliage and stronger flower stems than 'Peach Blossom'. 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, but will not bloom as prolifically there. Though they are easy to grow, Astilbes have one critical requirement--lots of water. Plants must have consistently moist soil; dryness leads to a quick demise, especially in the sun. Fertilize 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.
