Delft Lace Astilbe

Plant Overview

Delft Lace Astilbe is a stunning ornamental perennial that brings elegance and texture to shaded gardens. Its finely-cut, blue-green foliage creates a delicate backdrop for the striking plumes of pale pink flowers that emerge in mid-summer. The lacy appearance of both the foliage and flower panicles gives this variety its fitting name.

Plant Information

Plant Care

Delft Lace Astilbe thrives in consistently moist soil and requires regular watering, especially during dry spells. Remove spent flower plumes to maintain appearance, though they can be left standing for winter interest. Apply a layer of mulch in spring to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Feed with a balanced fertilizer in early spring when new growth appears.

Planting Instructions

Plant in spring or fall, spacing plants 18-24 inches apart. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and at the same depth. Position the crown at soil level and backfill with rich, organic soil. Water thoroughly after planting and maintain consistent moisture until established. Add a 2-inch layer of mulch around the plant, keeping it away from the crown to prevent rot.
