Astilbe

Lovely plants .....

The label looks like my Astilbe,Sue,but I can't quite read it.does it say Chinensis var.Pumila ? If so ,it's a belter..I love it..

Thats the one Sandra, it says it likes shady so think its going down the bottom into the raised bed.....

Mine is in partial shade till mid/late afternoon,Sue,as it's sheltered from the shed tii then..it doesn't get watered as often as it should,but still performs well...got mine from Morries at a great price.:o)

Mine is shaded by the shed till mid/late afternoon ,Sue,although it doesn't get watered as often as it should,it still performs well..a great bargain from Morries..:o)

Sorry Sue..meant to edit first comment,but must have sent it instead..not much different really,so why did I bother ? :o)

Garden shop at Belton House yesterday Sandra, cannot have a day out without bringing a gift back, still chucking it down today so its still sitting on patio table, lol....

It gave it to be horrible here today,Sue,and it's been nice and warm so far,but cloudier.We might get it later on..Isn't it frustrating when you could be doing something outside? I've still managed to plant bedding out despite my pot bound left arm..very slowly though,but at least it got me outside :o)

Love Astilbe 's I have a couple of clumps with red flowers and also a White one too, mine are in partial shade, Love the foilage with its muticolored leaves;0)

Our weather broke up last Thurs Sandra with a mega storm, flash flooding in some places, its rained every day since, hence the trip out to Belton, we needed somewhere indoors to while away a few hours, wellies were needed around the park..
I always say you can't keep a good woman down and we all know that where there's a will there's a way, lol....

Hi Pansy, it was a choice between the mauve or pink, grandson said definitely this one as he thinks it will go better with everything else, I might have a budding gardener on my hands, lol.....

I love Astilbes Sue ! I have one lonely one that I brought from the other place ! I think it needs a friend ! Hahaa!

Like your thinking Rose and loneliness is a good excuse for me to get another, lol...

I love this plant too. Mine was just maturing at the old garden, but I've planted two baby ones here. It's cracking. The colour is gorgeous and the flowers last a long time.

I've taken mine out the garden. it was looking very unhappy, popped it back into a pot to keep an eye on it, obviously did not like the position it was in and I don't want to lose it, seems to have perked up now...
