I am a landscape designer and have been purchasing 1000's of spring flowering bulbs from A.D.R. Bulbs for 100's of clients in the last 20 years. The bulbs have always been of top quality and if there were any problems, they have been quick to rectify. My orders are often complicated with many varieties and different amounts and they have always filled and delivered everything on time with the best customer care and attention to detail. The pictures in their catalog and website are beautiful. I have visited their facility in NY and was impressed with all their handling equipment and organization. I would highly recommend A.D.R. Bulbs to anyone in the wholesale trade who wants to purchase quality bulbs and work with genuinely nice people.

Astilbe arendsii 'Fanal' (Ships in Spring)

False Spirea

Astilbe 'Fanal' is a compact, clump-forming perennial known for its deep crimson-red flower plumes, which bloom in early to mid-summer. The feathery blooms rise above bronze-green foliage, creating a striking contrast in shaded gardens. As the season progresses, the foliage matures to a rich green with a reddish tint. 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 3-8, it provides long-lasting seasonal color and texture in low-light landscapes.

Growing and Maintenance Tips for Astilbe arendsii 'Fanal' (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.
