Jennifer’s Gift for Birthday #78 - Flowers Astilbe May 11th, 2026

We spent the day planting the Astilbe Flowers that Jennifer insisted on buying me for my 78th Birthday…

Probably the best birthday of my life. 

 Astilbe is a popular, low-maintenance perennial known for its feathery foliage and colorful, plume-like flowers in shades of pink, red, purple, and white, thriving in shady, moist conditions. They are ideal for woodland or part-shade gardens, prefer rich, well-drained soil, and require consistent moisture, especially during dry spells, to prevent wilting. Astilbes are deer-resistant and attract pollinators, making them a valuable addition to many gardens.
