Description
Astilbe, Little Vision in Pink showcases bright, fluffy plumes of soft pink that burst into bloom in mid-summer, lending a lively pop of color to shaded garden beds or containers. Its compact habit makes it a reliable choice for smaller landscapes or accent plantings. The serrated, deep green foliage remains attractive throughout the season, often developing a subtle bronze tinge as cooler weather arrives, adding extra visual interest in the fall.
General Care
- Sunlight: Thrives in partial shade, requiring at least 3–4 hours of filtered sunlight daily.
- Soil: Prefers consistently moist, well-draining soil enriched with organic matter.
- Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist, especially during hot or dry conditions, to support healthy growth and abundant blooms.
- Mulching: A 2–3 inch layer of mulch helps retain moisture and maintain a stable soil temperature.
- Pruning: Remove spent flower stalks in late fall or early spring to encourage fresh growth for the following year.
