About the
Astilbe - Rheinland :
The Astilbe ‘Rheinland’, Astilbe
japonica, has wonderful clear pink flowers
with mid green foliage changing to green in
the spring. The flowers contrast wonderfully
with the glossy foliage. Astilbe ‘Rheinland’
blooms in mid summer and is 24” tall and a
plant width of 18”. Do not allow Astilbe
‘Rheinland’ 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
