Planting Info:       The 'Visions' Astilbe is drought tolerant but still will need to be kept watered if placed in a spot with full sun.  Astilbes as a whole are heavy feeders and benefit from a feeding in spring or autumn with a nitrogen-rich fertilizer.  A general purpose fertilizer for the lawn, with a 20-10-10 mix, is a good and inexpensive solution.  Do not cut back 'Visions' in late fall, wait until spring because the old growth will protect the plant from winter damage.
