Early summer blooming, astilbe really stands out as a unique flowering perennial. Suited for a rich and consistently moist site in part shade or filtered/dappled light. Ours are okay in full sun with some late afternoon shade and in a site that stays pretty darn wet over the winter and we've seen no rot. They're hardier and more robust than they look. Their flowers are reminiscent of lace and a true delight to behold. Very similar to goat's beard but not as big of a plant. Best not to let the soil dry out or the foliage will brown some. Excellent perennial to have in the garden.
