Astilbes


While I was at my mom's house last week I weeded her flowerbeds a little bit & she showed me her little astilbe sprouts coming up. I have tried to plant astilbes in the fall on one shady part of my backyard fence for 2 years now. When I got home yesterday I saw that 2 plants are actually coming up. Hurray! Hopefully it will fill in & one day look like this...

ok, ok, probably not....just try to imagine few with various hostas, variegated & otherwise in front

Wishing you luck with your flowers.

Isn't it amazing how much pleasure we get from watching a sprout peeking up thru the ground? I was walking in my yard yesterday looking at all the plants reaching towards the heavens...pretty soon they will be abundant with pretty flowers, just as yours will be.
