Bridal Veil Astilbe will work well in borders, as a mass planting, or even as a cut flower. These white flowers are very easy to grow and will grow and bloom even during the hot summers! Just give them a drink every once in a while and they will grow healthy and strong. Astilbe will grow from 20-30" tall and love the shade and partial shade.

I love astilbes because they’re deer resistant and do well on my woodland border where they get shade. All bulbs were healthy.
I planted this astilbe on 3/14/26. It is now mid-April and the plant is already about 1 foot tall and healthy. I already have a flower shoot, although it is not blooming yet. The foliage is ferny, dark green and lovely. I have had a lot of luck with astilbes from Holland Bulb Farms at my previous location and couldn't wait to plant them again. They have come back stronger year after year. No complaints whatsoever, great plants!
Seem to be growing well..
I'm pleased so far with this white Astibile. It is coming up quite nicely.
I have tried for decades to grow an Astilbe in Idaho. The two that I got from HBC are growing beautifully. It likely helped that when the bare roots arrived they already had growth on them! With bare roots I can't always tell top from bottom!
