Elegant blooms and resilient foliage in your garden
Bridal Veil® Astilbe stands out in any garden with its airy white blooms that grace the landscape from June to July. These delicate flower spikes rise above the glossy green foliage, creating a stunning visual effect that brightens shady spots with an airy, light touch. The soft peak of the white flowers against lush green leaves adds a touch of elegance and charm, making it a perfect focal point or border plant for your yard.
Beyond its beauty, this perennial is known for its robust nature. Its glossy green leaves are not only attractive; they are also resistant to deer browsing, which means you can enjoy a vibrant garden without the worry of wildlife munching on your plants. This tough yet elegant plant thrives in moist, well-drained soil, making it an excellent choice for shaded areas that need a bit of life and color throughout the growing season.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Choose a location with partial to full shade and ensure the soil is rich and well-draining. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and gently place the plant. Cover the roots with soil and water thoroughly.
2. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry spells. Water about once a week, ensuring deep saturation to encourage healthy growth. Mulching around the base can help retain moisture.
3. Pruning: In late fall, allow the foliage to remain until the first frost to help protect the crown. In early spring, cut back the old foliage to promote new growth.
4. Fertilizing: Fertilize in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer. This will provide the necessary nutrients for robust growth and abundant blooms throughout the year.
