Home » Holiday Amaryllis & Plants » Deluxe Astilbe Collection

In Holland, astilbes have long been the mainstay of summer perennial gardens. They're so easy to grow and require so little attention, you'll eve find them blooming brightly along roads and canals. Planted en masse (space 18-24" apart), they're a special delight.

While you'll find them blooming in sunny spots, they are most often chosen for their unique ability to grow with vigour and bloom profusely in shade or semi-shade. All they for is plenty of moisture to keep their roots thriving.

While the 20-40" flowering stems bloom with colourful charm for several weeks in late spring and early summer, their beauty doesn't end when the colour fades. The dried plumes turn an elegant amber tan and continue to provide garden charm all through the summer and into the fall. Meanwhile, the high-gloss dark green foliage, which grows in foot-high mounds, provides an extremely attractive ground cover.

Get two each of the three varieties specially selected for the Breck's Deluxe Astilbe Collection:

Red Fanal - An absolute must for any Astilbe planting. Scarlet-red plumes, each containing hundreds of florets, create eye-stopping beauty wherever you plant them.

Deutschland - Deutschland's big, feathery, snow white plumes create garden excitement as they stand proudly above elegant deep green mounds of foliage. The ideal plant to blend with other perennials and essential for a complete Astilbe bed.

Peach Blossom - Everyone's favourite! Masses of salmon-pink florets create spectacular plumes of colour. Gorgeous as individual specimens, but even more attractive in beds and drifts. The colour lasts for weeks and weeks.

Plus a Special Treat
Your astilbe garden will be even more beautiful with a special gift Breck's has arranged for you - two rare and unique Lavender Astilbes. They're a regular $9.99 catalogue value, but will be yours absolutely FREE with each Breck's Deluxe Astilbe Collection you order!
