Visions in Pink Astilbe Care

Thriving in partial shade, Astilbes need protection from the harshest midday sun. Visions in Pink Astilbe thrives when grown in well-drained soil that is slightly acidic. It requires moist, but not soggy soil and appreciates a slow-release fertilizer application in spring. Annual mulching will help conserve moisture loss over the hot summer months.

You can deadhead the spent blooms to keep a tidy appearance. In early spring, simply cut back the old foliage before new growth appears. When container grown, regular irrigation is required to prevent the soil from drying out. 

Visions in Pink Astilbe Spacing

In the right conditions, Visions in Pink Astilbe can reach 18 to 24 inches tall and 24 to 30 inches wide. A spacing of around 30 inches is ideal when planting en masse.
