ASTILBE “Bressingham Beauty”
Astilbes are a choice plant for our mountain top
environment. They are easy to grow, stay neat all summer with
their fern-like foliage, and produce lovely, lacey spires of
color ranging from white, through every shade of pink, red and
purple. There are many hybrid astilbe varieties with bloom time
ranges from July - Sept., and their height from a few inches to
several ft. tall. It is rare for a deer to eat astilbe. They
are also adaptable to just about full sun if given adequate
water to partial shade. On new plantings moisture is important,
but will become less of a problem once established.
“Bressingham Beauty”
is a great choice growing about 32” tall with salmon pink flower
spikes. Prefers moist conditions Plant in groups with other
varieties - companion with hosta or other shade tolerant plants. |
