Most garden flowers require at least some amount of sun in order to grow and thrive. If you have a shady patch in your yard, don’t fear. You aren’t completely out of options. Consider planting astilbe, a fluffy, beautiful flower that thrives in shade, even tough, dry shade. Astilbes have a lot going for them. They are sturdy, dependable perennials that bloom in mid-summer. They have a very unique look with thousands of tiny florettes that come in a variety of colors, including dark reds, pale pinks, and snowy whites. They can be cut and added to a bouquet to provide texture, color and add fullness to the arrangement. If you buy astilbes from EasyToGrowBulbs, we will send them bareroot. To plant, tuck them into your garden with the roots fanned and pointing downwards, with the growing point about an inch below soil level. You’ll want to space these plants about a food apart, so they have plenty of room to grow and spread. After planting, you’ll notice growth almost immediately, and top sprouts will form within a few weeks. Another great thing about astilbes is that even after the plant is done blooming, it will provide pleasing foliage for the remainder of the growing season.
