These bulbs started growing very quickly from the time we planted them (very shortly after we received them). They have healthy-looking leaves, and it looks like we have the beginnings of flowers starting. Looking forward to seeing how they turn out!

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.

When my astilbe rootstock arrived, I was relieved to see that it was healthy and ready to sprout. Three weeks later, I've got what looks to be a great start to this beautiful specimen.

Received these quickly, followed directions and planted them. They grew quickly and they’re lovely!

I figured that I was taking a big chance ordering 5 astilbe in July in Virginia especially since mine had finished blooming in the 90 degree weather. I potted them keeping them away from strong sunlight. Not only did they fill out beautifully but two have flower buds. They look hardy and ready to join the others in the yard next month.
