Astilbe

Monday, March 14 | Cut Flower Profiles, Cut Flowers

Originating in Asia, the astilbe is a member of the saxifrage family.  Many varieties are perennials in our climate and make excellent additions to shadier areas of your cutting garden. The flowers are available in various shades of pink, red, purple, peach and white.  Astilbe blooms are available year round and are very popular in wedding work.  As with any cut flower, be sure to recut their stems and change the flowers’ water on a regular basis.
