I’ve been purchasing bulbs from A.D.R. for many years. The quality is superior and the service fantastic. Chris and his family have always been prompt and accommodating. If you need it, Chris can find it! I wouldn’t shop anywhere else!

Thriving in part to full shade, it prefers moist, well-drained soil and requires consistent watering to maintain its lush appearance. Resistant to deer and rabbits, it is a reliable choice for woodland gardens, borders, and containers. Suitable for USDA zones 4-9, it provides long-lasting seasonal color and texture in shaded landscapes.

Growing and Maintenance Tips for Astilbe chinensis 'Delft Lace' (Ships in Spring)

Planting: Best planted in spring or fall, avoiding the hottest part of summer. Set bare-root divisions 2 to 3 inches deep, ensuring the crown is just below the soil surface.
Location: Prefers partial shade, though it can tolerate full sun with ample moisture.
Soil: Requires rich, moist, well-drained soil with a slightly acidic pH around 6.0.
Watering: Keep soil consistently moist; drought can cause foliage to brown.
Spacing: Plant 12 to 24 inches apart, depending on variety.
Fertilization: Apply organic matter or balanced fertilizer in early spring to support strong blooms.
Pruning: No deadheading needed; cut back foliage in late winter before new growth emerges.
Propagation: Divide clumps every three to four years in early spring or fall.
Pest & Disease: Generally pest-free, though Japanese beetles may feed on foliage. Avoid excessive moisture to prevent fungal issues.
