Astilbe

Astilbe are reliable perennials for shady and semi-shady spots. They catch the eye with their deeply serrated leaves and fluffy flower spikes that brighten up even darker corners under trees during the summer months. They are very hardy and long-lived plants that are perfect for large-scale plantings. They sprout relatively late in the spring. That is exactly why it is worth combining them with spring-flowering bulbs in the flower bed. While the astilbe are still gathering strength, early flowers will safely fill the space around them. Take a look at how to grow tulips or how to grow daffodils and create a garden bed that blooms in succession. For successful growth, they primarily require soil that is sufficiently moist and rich in nutrients. Once they take root in such a spot, they require almost no work and will become a low-maintenance staple of your garden.
