'Dark Side of the Moon' (Astilbe)
Please Note: Our Ships Now perennials will currently ship dormant. The foliage and blooms begin to brown and die back. We provide a hard trim in the greenhouse to support this process. During dormancy, plants go inactive to conserve their energy for the next growing season. This happens naturally as seasons change!

Care: Care Information: Fertilize Astilbes in late spring before flowering starts. Wait to cut back the old foliage until spring; it will help protect the plant from winter damage. If the crown has risen above soil level in the spring, gently press it back into the ground and cover it with mulch or soil.
