Description
Astilbe arendsii 'Brautschleier' is a perennial dedicated to wet soils and semi-shaded exposures. Often planted near bodies of water and in cool understory areas, it brightens up flower beds with its brilliant white flowering. It is also known as Bridal Veil. Its large panicles bloom from June onwards and remain decorative until autumn. They can be used to create large fresh bouquets with a rustic feel.
The cultivar Brautschleier is one of the many hybrids developed by Georg Arends, a German nurseryman. Belonging to the Saxifragaceae family, it is a medium-sized variety, reaching a height of 60 cm (24in) with a spread of 45 cm (18in). It is therefore best placed in the middle of flower beds, surrounded by shade-loving companions such as ferns and Hostas. This rhizomatous perennial forms an upright clump, consisting of stems covered with compound, dark green, shiny, highly dissected, toothed, and deciduous leaves. These provide a backdrop for the plume-like white inflorescences, which can reach a length of 40 cm (16in).
This Astilbe prefers humid, rich, acidic, and even heavy soils. Unlike Chinese Astilbes, it cannot tolerate periods of drought, so it will need to be watered during excessively hot summers. It is best placed in partial shade. It can tolerate exposure to the sun if it is filtered or if its roots remain in moist soil. It is a hardy and robust perennial that requires very little maintenance.
After spring flowers, the tall white spikes of Astilbe Brautschleier welcome summer with freshness and take over before the profusion of summer flowers. Planted in rows, they highlight shaded paths or reflect in ponds. When planted individually, they contrast with their green neighbours, such as Hostas, Ferns, and Solomon's Seal, in shades of white and green. At the end of the season, leave the inflorescences to dry in place to maintain a tall background or remove some spikes to complement large dried autumn bouquets.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
