The Astilbe ‘Bridal Veil’, Astilbe arendsii, is a colorful feathery flower with white blooms and lacy deep green on bronze green foliage. The flowers contrast wonderfully with its dark green glossy foliage. Astilbe ‘Bridal Veil’ blooms in mid summer and is 28 30” tall and a plant width of 36”. Do not allow Astilbe ‘Bridal Veil’ to dry out. It is most successfully grown in a shady area but can tolerate some morning sun. A moist, well drained area is key for this plant. In order to keep Astilbe looking good for the next year, do not cut it back in the winter, the old foliage helps protect the plant from winter damage, but prune in early spring. Astilbe can be used as cut flowers, perennial borders or shade gardens with Hosta’s and Ferns. Astilbe is considered to be deer resistant and will attract hummingbirds.
