Copious amounts of clear white flowers. Position: Full sun or partial shade Soil: Moderately fertile, moist but well-drained soil Rate of growth: Average Flowering period: May to July Hardiness: Fully hardy Fabulous, feathery, pure white plumes in late spring above deeply cut, bright green leaves. This charming white astilbe is one of the first to flower. For an eye catching display, plant in drifts in a bog garden or moist, humus-rich area of the garden, next to moisture loving plants like rodgersia with large, coarser textured leaves. Garden care: Ensure that newly planted astilbes are kept well watered until they are established. Lift and divide large clumps every three or four years in late winter or early spring, discarding old, woody rhizomes.
