The Plant Sentry Compliance Officer works closely with NatureHills.com and each nursery or fulfillment center to ensure only compliant plants are sold to customers.

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Astilbes grow best in rich well-drained soil and in partial sun/partial shade settings, but can handle more sun in cooler zones and more shade in hotter climates. The biggest key to the successful growth of your Astilbes is moisture access, as they require consistent water access and a 3-4 inch deep layer of mulch to assist in keeping the soil moist. Prune back the mounds in the early spring and fertilize your perennials at this time. Every few years you can divide your clumps to separate them and keep them tidier.
- Part Shade Loving Plant
- Well-Drained Organically Enriched Location
- Loves Consistently Moist Soil
- Prune Back In Early Spring
