Astilbe in bloom
Thought I would share a picture of my astilbe in bloom. The color is a really vivid fucia, but shows up muted in this picture.[ATTACH=CONFIG]417117[/ATTACH]

Astilbe is one of my favorites and I finally found a place and a method that it likes!! Some morning sun, up against a bright background so it gets lots of light but not direct hot sun, plant it IN the pot with the bottom of the pot cut out to trap moisture, and about 5" of good mulch around the base. Now I'm on a mission to collect more sizes and more colors to fill this particular garden bed.

Sue, let us see when you get some more varieties. I only have the one and it gets morning sun.
