Growing Note: We find astilbe handles day length better when the soil is amended with worm castings at time of planting. In 2025/2026 trials we had astilbe tolerate full sun when amended with worm castings. Astilbe generally prefers full shade here in the north, however they have proven to tolerate pretty much any day length with healthy soil and lots of hydration.
