Description
Astilbe japonica 'Peach Blossom' is an early-flowering Japanese hybrid, and from July its light pink and white flowers in gradient illuminate the garden. Planted near water features and in shady areas, or in a large pot kept cool, its feathery panicles are very attractive. They are also perfect as cut flowers or in dried bouquets. The foliage takes on lovely autumn colours.
Astilbe japonica 'Peach Blossom' is a rhizomatous perennial plant, with low and compact tufted growth and deciduous, compound, dense and glossy foliage with dentate leaflets in dark green. It will reach a height of 70cm (28in) when in flower, and spread out over 40 to 50cm (16 to 20in). A long-lived plant, it belongs to the saxifrage family. It is one of the many hybrids whose original species is native to the Japanese archipelago.
Plant Astilbe japonica in moist to damp, rich, neutral to acidic soil. This hybrid does not tolerate lack of water. The plant adapts well to clayey soils if they are healthy and well amended. Note that Astilbes do not tolerate being flooded in winter. Plant Astilbe japonica in partial shade or in a sunny but not scorching location: in nature, these plants grow in damp woodlands. Daily watering will be necessary in hot summers.
Astilbe japonica can easily be grown in containers, as an evaporative plant, in flower beds, as borders, as cut flowers and dried flowers. In woodlands, to create a screen as a hedge, and of course in flower beds. Combine them with Hostas, Ferns (Athyrium filix-femina), Arums, Kaffir Lilies (Schizostylis coccinea), and Meadowsweet (Filipendula) or other wet soil perennials.

Planting and care
Astilbe japonica 'Peach Blossom' thrives primarily in partial shade. You can place it in a fairly gentle sunlight, but avoid the hot midday hours. It is a trouble-free plant. Plant it in spring or autumn in a cool, moist but well-drained soil, rich in organic matter. It is a perennial that prefers fertile soils. You can put it in a marshy area. Do not place it in a limestone soil as it is susceptible to drying out. To install your pot, work the soil to a depth of 20cm (8in), crumble the soil well and put a bottom amendment such as dried blood or dehydrated horn in the planting hole. Position your plant, removing it from its pot and covering the top of the root ball with 3cm (1in) of soil. Then fill in and water copiously to remove air pockets. In dry weather, water regularly for a few weeks to facilitate rooting. Astilbe requires very little maintenance. Keep the soil moist and add compost and fertilizer in spring. In winter, be careful of the flowers and young leaves, which can be damaged by spring frosts. After flowering, trim the flower stalks to highlight the foliage. In November, prune the plants to about 10cm (4in). It is best to avoid working the soil 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 fungal spots.

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.
