Small plant, good growth but limited flowering. I am waiting for next spring to see if the growth continues.

Description

Astilbe japonica 'Deutschland' is an early flowering Japanese hybrid. From June, its pure white flowers are gathered in short, well-branched, dense panicles that illuminate the surroundings of water features, shady gardens, wet areas or a large pot kept moist on the terrace. Its feathery panicles are very attractive as cut flowers or in dried bouquets. The foliage takes on lovely autumnal hues. 

 

 

Astilbe 'Deutchland' is a rhizomatous perennial plant with a low and compact shape from spring, with deciduous, dense and glossy compound foliage, with toothed, dark green leaflets. It will reach 50 cm (20in) high when in flower and spread over 30 to 40 cm (12 to 16in). This long-lived plant belongs to the saxifrage family. It is one of many hybrids whose species is native to the Japanese archipelago.

 

Plant Astilbe japonica in moist to wet, rich, neutral to acidic soil. This hybrid does not tolerate drought, or being flooded in winter. The plant adapts well to clay soils if they are healthy and fertile. Place Astilbe japonica in partial shade or in a sunny but not scorching position. In the wild, these plants grow in moist woodlands. Daily watering will be necessary in hot summers.

 

Astilbe japonica can easily be grown in containers, in flower beds, in woodland, as a border or used as cut flowers and dried flowers. Combine them with Hostas, Ferns (Athyrium filix-femina), Arums, Cape Fuchsias (Schizostylis coccinea) and Meadowsweets (Filipendula) or other wet soil perennials.

Planting and care

Astilbe japonica 'Deutschland' thrives mainly in partial shade. You can plant it in gentle sunlight, but avoid the hot midday hours. It is a trouble-free plant. Plant it in spring or autumn in cool, moist but well-drained soil, rich in organic matter and fertile. You can put it in a marshy area. Do not plant it in limestone soil as it is susceptible to drying out. To plant your astilbe, work the soil to a depth of 20 cm (8in), breaking up the earth well, and place a base fertiliser such as bonemeal at the bottom of the planting hole. Remove your plant from its pot and position, covering the top of the root ball with 3 cm (1in) of soil. Then fill in and water well to eliminate air pockets. Water regularly for a few weeks to aid rooting in dry weather. Astilbe requires very little maintenance, just keep the soil moist and add compost and fertiliser in spring. In winter, you may need to protect the flowers and young foliage, which can be damaged by spring frosts. After flowering, cut back the stems to highlight the foliage. In November, cut the plants back to around 10 cm (4in). While slugs ignore it, it can be susceptible to powdery mildew and fungal spots. It is best to avoid digging near these plants, as the rootsts develop near the surface.

Care

Pruning instructions Prune the faded flowers to promote better foliage development. You can also leave the flower stems in place if you want to decorate the garden during winter, simply removing them the following spring by cutting the young plant back to 10 cm (4in). It is important to avoid digging near these plants, as the roots develop near the surface.
