About the
Astilbe - Bridal Veil :
The Astilbe ‘Bridal Veil’, Astilbe
arendsii, is a colorful feathery flower with
white blooms and lacy deep green on
bronze-green foliage. The flowers contrast
wonderfully with its dark green glossy
foliage. Astilbe ‘Bridal Veil’ blooms in mid
summer and is 28-30” tall and a plant width
of 36”. Do not allow Astilbe ‘Bridal Veil’
to dry out. It is most successfully grown in
a shady area but can tolerate some morning
sun. A moist, well-drained area is key for
this plant.
In order to keep Astilbe looking good for
the next year, do not cut it back in the
winter, (the old foliage helps protect the
plant from winter damage), but prune in
early spring. Astilbe can be used as cut
flowers, perennial borders or shade gardens
with Hosta’s and Ferns. Astilbe is
considered to be deer resistant and will
attract hummingbirds
