The shaded woodland garden is one of the toughest spots in the landscape to find plants that will thrive but, Visions in White Astilbe is the perfect summer blooming perennial for such a site. Striking bright white plumes rise above a mound of glossy, deeply cut, almost fern-like foliage in early June and continue to shine in these dark landscape spots right through early July. While its compact, clump forming foliage adds great texture to the partially shaded garden both before and after the flowers, it's really those fat triangle of pure white that will really grab your attention. Thriving in moist, organic soils, 'Visions in White' is deer resistant and butterflies will flock to its pure, bright plumes as much as you will! Plant it in groups for a stunning show or use it in a mixed perennial container for a semi-shaded deck or patio where its bloom and texture will shine!

Growing Tips for Astilbe chinensis 'Vision in White'

Astilbes should be pruned in the early spring after the last frost. Pruning them in early summer is an option but the longer you wait the more flowers could be lost to the prune. You can prune off spent flowers to keep your plant looking tidy but too much pruning late in the season can spur new growth that is delicate and may be killed off by frosts in the fall and winter and cause undo stress to the plant as well as an unsightly plant.
