Bridal Veil Astilbe

I ordered these at the end of spring on sale. They arrived fast and very healthy looking. I planted same day. It seemed like just a few days and I seen it coming up. Very happy with this purchase. I wish I could figure out how to share a picture with this review.

The bare roots started leafing out almost immediately after planting. They are looking incredibly healthy and happy and filling their space. And one of the three already has a few blooms (they are tiny and not yet usable as a cut flower, but any bloom is a pleasant surprise for a first year perennial. Especially a bare root). I’ll be ordering more.

I think the lack of sun and late planting made my rhizome not have much of a chance last year. Hoping for a great bloom this year since I remedied those problems!

Planted as soon as I received them and right away they started growing. Just a small cluster of leaves this first year, I understand perennials take some time to get established. Looking forward to flowers in the coming year.

I received the astilbe roots very quickly after ordering, and got them in the ground right away. I didn't expect to see any real blooms this year but was treated to a small one within a month of planting! The two roots I ordered grew lush leaves almost immediately. I will gladly buy more plants after this experience.
