Astilbe Fanal

Another variety that holds the RHS AGM, the attractive bronze foliage gives rise to slender stems holding dark crimson red flowers above the plant. As summer turns to autumn, the foliage morphs into a darker green, showing a red tint in some lights

Planting Instructions

The best placement for Astilbe's is in a partial shaded aspect, along with soil that is moisture retentive. They can tolerate full sun, but they must be kept well watered, as astilbe does not like to be dry for any length of time

With this in mind, if it is warm the division would benefit for being soaked in water for 3-4 hours prior to planting

Plenty of space should be given to the bare root when planting to allow space for the plant to thrive - I would suggest around 2' (60cm) from any other plant in the border. Dig a generous sized hole, with the crown just below the soil surface, then backfill. Water in well, and ensure the plant has plenty of water in its first season to allow it to establish
