Color Flash PBR Astilbe

Shady patios can be beautified with our three container plants that will not only thrive but also provide color that is often lacking in shade garden collections.  The Astilbe and Hosta are true perennials that not only come back year after year, but they will also live a very long time.

Astilbe bear showy pink, plume-like flowers on tall, stiff stalks above fern-like, glossy foliage.  Hosta’s large, bold leaves have various shapes.  Some leaves have deep green centers and creamy white margins that turn snowy white with age, and others have light green leaf centers that turn gold toward early summer Mauve or pale lavender funnel-shaped flowers bloom atop long scapes in mid-summer.

• Among the easiest to grow of all perennials
• Both Hostas and Astilbe love plenty of water, so be sure the containers receive adequate rainfall or water
• Fast-growing and often fragrant
• Can be divided every 3-4 years or thereafter as containers become crowded
• Prefer shady spots protected from strong afternoon sun
• Grows 24-36″and 24-48″ tall
