Received the Astilbe Mix and they seem healthy and much larger than anticipated with some sprouts already in place. Planted as instructed and hoping that they do well in the shady area of my property and give some much anticipated color. Price was much better than many other sites for similar products. Crossing fingers! Happy with delivery, product and service but will have to see how they grow for a completely accurate review.
The Astilbe grow well. Directions say to plant a foot+ apart, but plants are a bit small for that and look small and lonely when planted at that distance. Next time, I will plant them closer together.
I planted all 8 roots in the shady part of our yard that desperately needs color. In less than 2 weeks all have come up and have beautiful red/brown foliage! I think I will add a few of the white/pink caladium bulbs in that spot as well.
I planted these as soon as I got them. They quickly started growing and after less than a month, they are looking very healthy. There are no blooms yet, which is why I didn't give them 5 stars. I'm not sure I should expect any this year but the foliage is lovely and I am happy with the results so far. They are getting very little sun in the morning and it seems to suit them.
Every single root took and started producing foliage immediately. Two are already pushing up blooms. I would definitely buy again!
