Everything about You and Me Forever® Astilbe is charming. The botanical name is Astilbe chinensis, and this plant boasts some of the most unique flowers that bloom from spring through summer. Pyramidal flower plumes have a fuzzy texture, adding to the whimsy of this plant. The stems are densely packed with tiny, deep red flowers that open in succession, starting at the bottom and working their way up. The charming flowers are anchored by a mound of dark green foliage with finely serrated edges.

This clump-forming perennial plant adds vibrant color and height to a border or bed. Plant it near the middle or back of a mixed bed so the bold flower plumes will stand above other plants, or group several astilbes for a larger impact. Trim the flowers to display in a vase and dry them for continued use. Astilbe works well in a woodland or cottage-themed garden. The flowers support pollinators, making this plant a good pick for a butterfly garden. Deer tend to leave astilbe alone for worry-free growing in rural and wooded areas. You and Me Forever® Astilbe grows in zones 3 through 8.

You and Me Forever® Astilbe Care

Plant in full to part sun so the red flowers can brighten up a dark area. Morning sun and afternoon shade are ideal in warm climates. Provide rich, moist, well-drained soil. New plants need damp but not soggy conditions. Established plants are drought tolerant, but appreciate water during a dry period to support continued growth. Apply a layer of mulch to retain moisture. Use a slow-release fertilizer in the spring.

The faded flower stalks continue to provide color and texture, so deadheading isn’t necessary. Trim all growth to ground level after the first frost. Astilbe can overwhelm a space, so divide the plants every few years in fall or early spring.

You and Me Forever® Astilbe Spacing

You and Me Forever® Astilbe grows 18 to 24 inches tall and 18 inches wide. Astilbe chinensis spreads quickly, so space plants 18 to 24 inches apart. The clumps will fill in empty areas before long.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
