We find them best planted under deciduous trees with lots of leaf fall and compost

prickly dark green leaves which are whitish beneath and then the striking flower stems that are produced around February through to autumn carry prickly blue balls that start to flower from the top down

Clumps may be easily divided in early spring every few years to give you more plants

Astilbe arendsii | Bridal Veil Parnell Agencies We find them best plantedAstilbe arendsii 'Bridal Veil' is a beautiful, free flowering astilbe, wonderful in shady borders, growing to 70 cm tall with their densely packed tiny flowers on tall strong and study spikes in mid summer. Great for picking, and just lovely in bouquets, brides and florists alike love this variety as it's so easy to work with. The blooms are long lasting, and grow above deep green, ferny glossy foliage, which dies back in winter as it goes dormant.
