Why some shipping routes differ

Live plants are pickup only June 1–September 30. Plugs and potted plants cannot use our shipping path to AZ, CA, HI, ID, NV, OR, UT, or WA; pickup may remain available. Soil-free bare root plants may ship to those states during March 1–May 31 when all remaining rules pass. Montana plug and potted-plant arrivals must be October 1–May 31.

We choose neem oil and lower-impact plant care instead of routinely drenching our greenhouse with lab-manufactured pesticides. We are exploring a screened growing house that may expand future shipping options.

Bare root arrives dormant

Expect new growth in 6 to 8 weeks after planting. Until then it can look lifeless, so you won’t be able to tell within 24 hours of arrival whether it will grow.

About the Product

Bridal Veil is a classic white astilbe with lacy panicles that droop softly at the tips, giving the plant a frothy look in early summer. It lights up shady corners where white flowers really shine.

Its deep green, glossy foliage looks good before and after bloom, and the plant grows about 28 inches tall. It holds an Award of Garden Merit and suits borders, mass plantings, containers and cutting. Deer and rabbits leave it alone.

What it looks like

Fluffy, lacy plumes 8 to 10 inches long of tiny pure white flowers, loosely branched and gently nodding at the tips. Plumes stand on upright stems above the foliage. Leaves are compound, finely divided, toothed and deep glossy green, forming a neat clump. The plant is about 28 inches tall in bloom and 18 to 22 inches wide. At peak bloom it looks like a cloud of white froth over dark green leaves.

Growing it with lavender

Astilbe needs moist, rich soil and shade, the opposite of lavender's dry, sunny bed, so plant it in a shade garden or along a damp woodland edge with hostas and ferns.

Care

Astilbe grows best in part shade in rich, humus-rich soil that never dries out; in the north it takes more sun if kept moist. Hardy in USDA zones 4-9. Mulch to hold moisture, water during dry spells to prevent leaf scorch, and leave the dried plumes for winter interest before cutting back in spring.

Dormant bare-root astilbe as it arrives, laid on burlap

When it arrives

Your bare-root plant

Expect a woody, knobby crown with wiry dark roots and plump pink or reddish buds. Soak 1-2 hours, then plant with buds up and just under the soil. Water well. Shoots may take several weeks.

Expect new growth in 6 to 8 weeks after planting. Bare root ships March–May while dormant, with little or no top growth, and it can look lifeless until then. That’s normal. A later riser. Reddish or bronze shoots appear mid to late spring, often after hostas start. Bare root plants can take 4-6 weeks to show growth.

You won’t be able to tell within 24 hours of arrival whether a dormant plant will grow.

When to plant

Spring or early fall, while soil is cool and moist.

How deep

Set the crown so the buds sit just at to about 1 in below the soil surface. Crowns rise over time; top-dress with compost.

Spacing

15-24 in depending on variety; dwarf types closer.

Soil

Rich, humusy loam · pH 5.5–7.0

Fix-it tip: Dig in plenty of compost or leaf mold to hold water. In sandy soil add extra organic matter and mulch 2-3 in. Avoid winter-soggy spots.
