Understanding Plant Options

Nature Hills offers plants in two main formats:

Container Plants: Grown in pots with soil, sized by container volume and plant age
Bare Root Plants: Dormant plants without soil, sized by height measurements

Container Plant Sizes

Container sizes indicate plant age and growing capacity rather than liquid volume equivalents. Our containers follow industry-standard nursery "trade gallon" specifications, which differ from standard liquid gallon measurements.

Young Plants (6 months to 18 months old)

Container Size	Actual Volume	Metric Equivalent
2" x 2" x 3"	0.18 - 0.21 dry quarts	0.20 - 0.23 dry liters

Planting & Care Instructions

Where to Plant

Sunlight: Peach Blossom Astilbe performs best in partial to full shade, requiring about 2 to 4 hours of dappled sunlight. While it can handle more sun in cooler climates, too much direct afternoon heat will scorch the delicate foliage and cause the peach-colored plumes to fade prematurely.
Soil: These plants crave rich, loamy soil that stays consistently moist but never swampy. If you have heavy clay, mix in organic compost or peat moss to improve drainage while retaining moisture; for sandy soil, add leaf mold to prevent it from drying out too fast.

Watering Requirements

During the first year, water your Astilbe twice a week to ensure the root system anchors deeply into the soil. Once established, this plant needs deep watering whenever the top inch of soil feels dry, as inconsistent moisture leads to crispy leaf edges and stunted flowering. Unlike many perennials, Astilbe is not drought-tolerant and will go dormant or die if the soil parches completely during a summer dry spell.

Pruning Tips

Peach Blossom Astilbe blooms on new wood, so you should leave the dried flower stalks and foliage alone during the winter to protect the crown from the cold. In early spring, just as new green shoots appear, snip the old, dead stems down to the ground to make room for fresh growth. Think of this like clearing away last year’s debris to let the new "haircut" shine without being cluttered by brittle, brown stalks.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer (like a 10-10-10 formula) in early spring just as the first leaves unfurl to fuel the upcoming bloom cycle. Avoid using high-nitrogen fertilizers late in the summer, as this encourages tender new growth that won't be tough enough to survive the first frost. A thin layer of organic mulch around the base will also provide a steady stream of nutrients while keeping the roots cool.

The Peach Blossom Astilbe (Astilbe x 'Peach Blossom') is a brilliant pink blooming, handsome plant for the perennial border. It produces masses of fully pink, feathery flower plumes and has fern-like lacy dark green foliage.

The Astilbe is admired for its attractive foliage and elegant, airy flower plumes rising up two feet, attracting butterflies and hummingbirds. Throughout the remainder of the summer, lacy deep green, mounded foliage adds ferny texture to garden beds, long after the blooms have faded. Be sure to harvest some of the blooms before they fade, as they make excellent cut flowers for arrangements!

Hardy to heat and chill throughout USDA planting zones 4 to 8, growing into a neat and tidy 18 - 24 inches in height and 15 - 18 inches in width! The lacy clumps of finely cut foliage look great all on their own and remain disease and pest-resistant all growing season long!

Landscape Application:

These late spring into summer, blooming beauties are ideal for borders, containers, and gardens on the edge of woodland gardens, and shady pathway edges! The fringy foliage lights up and softens the edges of hardscapes and eases the transition between lawn and garden bed!

Pot up these tidy and lacy fillers and thrillers into your mixed pots and container gardens, or specimen planters around your shaded garden seating areas, covered porches and patios, and shaded balcony gardens where these easy-to-grow perennials shine!

Perfect Pollinator garden plants, bees, and butterflies flock to the summer gardens. But Peach Blossom Astilbe also adds a dreamy quality to your Cottage Gardens, mixed Perennial borders, and around the outskirts of water features where Astilbe loves the higher moisture locations.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

You can plant Astilbe varieties in groups in partly shaded gardens for maximum color and impact. Plant in well-drained, organically enriched soil that remains consistently moist throughout the growing season. Astilbe are fairly adaptable to a variety of growing conditions, but they prefer well-drained, but moist and highly organic soil; humusy forest gardens are a perfect example of where these plants will thrive. This is one of the most drought-tolerant Astilbe varieties available!

Add mulch around the plants to help retain moisture during dryer times. Prune back the plants in the early spring, leaving the foliage to protect the crown over the winter. As a clump-forming perennial, it's a good idea to divide the clumps every few years, to prevent overcrowding.
