Purple Candles Astilbe Plant

Purple Candles Astilbe boasts stunning purple plumes that stand tall above lush, fern-like foliage, bringing a touch of elegance to any garden or landscape.

Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Choose a location that receives partial to full shade, ensuring the soil is well-draining and rich in organic matter.

2. Watering: Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry spells. Astilbe prefers to be hydrated but avoid waterlogged conditions.

3. Pruning: Cut back spent flower spikes after blooming to maintain a tidy appearance. In fall, trim back foliage to about 3 inches above the ground to encourage healthy growth next season.

4. Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring as new growth appears. A light top-dressing of compost can also be beneficial during the growing season.
