Astilbe Raspberry
- Pot size: 2L
- Height and Spread: 40cm (1ft) x 40cm (1ft) after 2-5 years
Native to North America and Asia, where it grows naturally in woodland or on mountain ravines, Astilbe likes moist but not waterlogged soil and thrives growing beside streams or ponds where the flowers reflect mesmerically in the water. The common name is self-explanatory!
The lovely plumes of flowers appear in July and last until October. The brown seed heads add autumn and winter interest.
- Fertile, moist soil
- South, west facing
- Partial shade
Plant ideally beside water or in a bog garden, or ensure that the soil remains moist during the summer. Can be planted in containers but again check the soil is kept moist. Leave spent flower heads for autumnal interest.
