To be honest, I don't really know what this plant looks like, but it has flowers and tolerates shade and there aren't many of those! they have already sprouted and I am eager to see what they are like

These astilbe arrived bare root, and I planted them he day after they arrived. They have shot up through the dirt and look to be very healthy and happy! I don't usually like bare root, but these are winners!

Even though I planted these late in the season they are growing so well. I don’t think they will bloom this year.. but certainly look like they will be healthy next season
