#ProPlantTips for Care:
This versatile perennial can take full sun in cooler zones if Astilbe receives good moisture and mulch. Otherwise, give it a part shade or full shade for warmer zones. Astilbes are grown most successfully in rich, well-drained soil. The biggest key to the successful growth of your Astilbes is water! They require a lot of it! The soil must remain moist. If the soil dries out these perennials will falter quickly, especially in the sun and hotter growing zones.
You'll also want to use Nature Hills Root Booster beneficial soil additives when planting. This formula contains mycorrhizal fungus, which supports the tiny feeder roots to efficiently access water and soil micronutrients. Over time, enrich your soil with mulch and top-dressings of compost. Apply a phosphorus-rich, slow-release fertilizer in early spring. Ensure the formula is for flowering plants and apply according to the directions.
Vision Astilbe will do best in a relatively sheltered location. Consider applying a thick layer of mulch around the root zone for the growing season to conserve soil moisture. 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.
That's it! Water, mulch, and a once-a-year trimming!
