Facts About Astilbe

There are roughly 20 species of perennials in the genus Astilbe, which belongs to the family Saxifragaceae and is endemic to Asia and North America.
On thin, erect stems, astilbe’s plume-like blossoms rise above green, fern-like leaves. Depending on the cultivar, these eye-catching clusters of little white, pink, or reddish blooms bloom from spring through autumn. It’s easy to care for Astilbes, which are also beautiful cut flowers. They’ll also attract hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies to your garden, so don’t forget about them!

According to the Greek terms “a” (“without”) and “stilbe” (“brightness”), the genus name refers to the dull leaves of certain species.

The flower spray is known as “False Goat’s Beard” because of its resemblance to a beard in terms of both shape and color.

As the name suggests, astilbe represents the virtues of patience and devotion to a certain someone.

If only they blossomed in the winter, these beautiful perennials would be wonderful for any season, even weddings!

How to Care for Astilbe

If you're feeling really sophisticated, you may place an astilbe on your bedside table or coffee table by itself. Get your hands on one of those gorgeous flowers and bring it in. Use clean, sharpened scissors to cut the stem at an angle and avoid crushing the stem, ensuring that your flowers receive the most water possible. If you want to guarantee that your flowers last as long as possible in your home, they should have large, brightly colored buds that have swelled. The easiest way to maintain your Astilbe looking and feeling their best is to trim the stems and change the water every two days..
