| Planting Info: Astilbe will tolerate a wide range of soil types, but prefer soils that are fertile, moist, and well-drained. They are heavy feeders. Fertilize in the spring before growth starts, and again, lightly, in the fall after the first frost. Use a 10-6-4 or a 10-10-10 fertilizer. Divide every 3 or 4 years to maintain vigorous plants. | ||
