Tips for Growing Astilbes

Grow astilbes in moist, well-draining soil in partial to full shade for optimal growth. Water astilbes regularly, especially during periods of drought, to keep the soil consistently moist. Keep an eye out for pests like nematodes and spider mites, and treat them promptly. Fertilize astilbes in early spring with a balanced fertilizer to support healthy growth. Deadhead spent blooms to promote continuous flowering throughout the season.
