Description
Astilbe arendsii 'Cattleya' is adorned with a late summer flowering, in long romantic lilac-pink panicles. These panicles with very soft and fresh colours stand out well from the vigorous and abundant leaves which are deeply lobed and quite decorative. This perennial for moist soil adorns the edges of water features and moist areas of the garden. It also performs very well in large pots if kept watered. Its feathery inflorescences remain very attractive in dried bouquets. The foliage sometimes takes on beautiful hues in autumn.
The Genus Astilbe belongs to the Saxifragaceae family. The 'Cattleya' variety is a rhizomatous and stoloniferous perennial, with a tufted and bushy habit. This very vigorous variety will reach a height of at least 1.20 m (4ft) when in flower, spreading over 80 cm (32in) to 1 m (3ft). It is a long-lived perennial, with deciduous foliage composed of toothed, medium green leaflets which are particularly attractive with its feathery appearance. Flowering takes place from June to August, in the form of large feathery panicles measuring 20 to 30 cm (8 to 12in) in length composed of tiny flowers that open a deep pink, fading to pink with mauve undertones at maturity.
Astilbes are essential perennials for compact, heavy, moist, and marshy soils. They are very cold-resistant, long-lived and disease-resistant. In addition to their flowers, the divided foliage is often decorative, although it disappears in winter. 'Cattleya' Astilbe can easily be grown in pots, flower beds, borders, or used as cut flowers for drying. It also thrives in shade or in a hedge. Combine them with Hostas, Ferns, Arums, or Goat's Beard, for example. These plants can be forced in a greenhouse to achieve early flowering.
The hybrid Astilbe arendsii was created by cross-breeding between A. chinensis, A. astilboides, A. japonica, and A. thunbergii. They present less risk of allergies than other varieties.

Planting and care
Plant Astilbe ardensii 'Cattleya' in moist to damp, rich, neutral to acidic soil. This hybrid cannot tolerate a lack of water. The plant adapts well to clay soils if they are healthy and fertile. Note that Astilbes do not tolerate being flooded in winter. Place Astilbe in partial shade or in a non-scorching, sunny location: in nature, these plants grow in damp woodlands. They will need to be watered daily in hot summers. Prune faded flowers to promote better foliage development. The flowering stems can be left in place if you want to decorate the garden during winter, simply remove them the following spring. Avoid digging near these plants, as the rhizomes grow near the surface. These plants are resistant to disease and rarely attacked by insects.

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.
