new Astilbe

These plants cannot get enough of the rain, ours fast out-growing their allotted spaces, so useful as the flowering times vary with the different varieties, lovely red/pink? K....

Great height!

I'm needing to think along those lines myself now Karen - flooded again!!
Was looking online at Binny's selection yesterday - too many to make up my mind now - nothings ever easy is it!

lovely..moine arent even flowering yet!

Yes, I would say it's pink A. Thank you. Scottish, I had a look on line as well, but decided to just get what was available in the nursery and this one was from B&Q 2 for £7.

I think astilbes are lovely - this is a really nice one. Do they divide easily? Mine's getting huge!

Thanks Karen. Ill have a look there

Melchi, I don't know, never really grown them before this year. I hope so though..can't see why not.

Well - there's only one way to find out! I shall go for it in the autumn.

Have divided Astilbe many times. Had a border running the length of a shed one year, all pink. When it outgrew its space , I divided, and divided. It is very easy, I would wait until a dry spell is possible to do it. They are very carefree. I never did one thing to this border and came back year after year.

Ah, that's good to know Wells, thank you!

Thanks, Wells! I shall divide with confidence!
