Bring fluffy clouds of perfectly pink flowers to your shade garden with Rheinland Astilbe. Bubblegum flowers bloom June into July over mounds of ferny foliage. The fine foliage adds excellent texture to the garden, especially against large-leafed Hostas and Coral Bells. Rheinland thrives in shady, moist areas and even grows in dark shade. This outstanding variety has been a favorite of gardeners for years. It attracts butterflies and other pollinators. Deer and rabbits leave Astilbe alone.

The fantastic foliage of Rheinland Astilbe makes it a top choice for containers and edging. It’s gorgeous in formal beds, cottage, pollinator, and cutting gardens. Astilbe works well massed or grouped in shady and woodland gardens. It makes an excellent ground cover or an edging plant as long as consistent moisture can be given. Spectacular landscapes can be created by using them in serpentine patterns. With its strong contrasting foliage, Astilbe and Hosta planted together is a match made in heaven.

Plant in shade to part shade in soil amended with organic matter. Keep consistently watered. If plants dry out, they may go dormant. Adding a top dressing of mulch will help hold water in the soil.
