Description
Astilbe arendsii Bressingham Beauty is a variety of astilbe known for its robustness, vigour, and beautiful flowering. Its bright salmon-pink floral spikes are particularly abundant and visible from a distance in summer. Like all astilbes, the plant has finely cut, dark green leaves, sometimes tinged with bronze. This perennial thrives in partial shade and moist soils, making it ideal for decorating riverbanks and heavy soils that never dry out.
Astilbe Bressingham Beauty is one of the many hybrids developed by Georg Arends, a German nurseryman. It is a very hardy herbaceous perennial plant belonging to the Saxifragaceae family. It is a tall variety, reaching about 80 cm (32in) in height with a spread of 50 cm (20in). It is best planted in large flowerbeds, surrounded by shade-loving companions such as ferns and Hostas. This rhizomatous plant is deciduous, with foliage emerging in spring and drying up in autumn. It forms an upright clump, consisting of a collection of stems covered with compound, finely cut, and toothed leaves. Flowering occurs in July-August, with plume-like inflorescences composed of numerous small flowers that start off as bright salmon-pink, fading slightly when fully open.
Planted in a row, astilbes create a beautiful border along shaded paths or around ponds where they reflect in the water. As standalone plants, these perennials provide a striking contrast with lush green neighbours, such as Hostas, Ferns, and Solomon's seals. At the end of the season, leave the dried inflorescences in place to maintain a tall backdrop or remove a few spikes to complement autumnal dried flower arrangements. The flowers are highly attractive in floral compositions and dried bouquets. In woodland settings, combine astilbes with other bog perennials.

Planting and care
Astilbe thrives primarily in partial shade and rich soils that remain moist, even marshy and waterlogged in summer. You can plant it in mild sunlight, but avoid the hottest hours of the day. Plant it in spring or autumn in soil rich in organic matter, and make sure it never lacks water from spring until the end of summer. Avoid excessively chalky soils.
To install your plant, dig the soil over a cubic 20 cm (8in) and place a base fertiliser at the bottom of the planting hole. Remove from its pot then place in position, covering the top of the root ball with 3 cm (1in) of soil, then backfill and water abundantly to remove any air pockets. In dry weather, regular watering is necessary for a few weeks to aid rooting. Astilbe requires very little maintenance just keep the soil moist and add compost and fertilizer in spring. In winter the flowers and young foliage can be damaged by spring frosts. Cut the faded flower stems to encourage the foliage. In November, trim the plants to about 10 cm (4in). Avoid digging near these plants, as the rootstocks develop on the surface. These plants are resistant to diseases and are rarely attacked by insects. While slugs ignore them, they can be susceptible to powdery mildew and various fungal diseases.

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.
