Mixed Astilbe is an ideal plant for soil that is not too dry, where it will flower profusely with increasing numbers of striking plumes. Astilbe is very sturdy and hardy. It combines well with other shade plants. The coloured flower plumes look attractive in mixed dried flower bouquets.
This plant is a sure bet for novice gardeners. The fine-textured foliage and low mounding growth habit of 'Sprengeri' make it a good landscape choice. Asparagus ferns are adaptable and will grow in full sun to shade. Their foliage, however, tends to look somewhat yellow when grown in full sun.
