PURPLE CANDLES ASTILBE

This plant prefers shade or partial shade. In both northern and southern climates, it is best to provide morning sun only, as the afternoon heat can be too intense for the foliage.

Since this variety has a mature spread of 18 to 24 inches, you should space them approximately 20 inches apart to allow for healthy airflow while still achieving a full, lush look.

Absolutely. These plants thrive in moist conditions and are an excellent choice for areas near water features, ponds, or spots in your garden that tend to stay damp.

This variety is hardy in zones 4 through 8. If you live within these zones, the plant is well-suited to survive the winter and will return each spring.
