Astilbe - Hennie Graffland The Astilbe ‘Hennie Graafland’, Astilbe simplicifolia 'Hennie Graafland', is a colorful feathery flower with light pink blooms and shiny bronze-green foliage. Hennie Graafland is part of the simplicifolia group which are known for their fine textured foilage. The flowers contrast wonderfully with the dark bronze-green foliage. Astilbes are grown most successfully in rich soil and under partial sun. . they require a lot of water. The soil must remain moist. If the soil drys out the plant will falter quickly, especially in the sun. Wait to cut the foilage back until spring as that will protect the plant during the winter. Fertilize Astilbes in late spring before the flowers emerge. Astilbes can be used as cut flowers, perennial borders or shade gardens with Hosta’s and Ferns. |
