I got this in the middle of summer and planted it--two weeks later, it's growing beautifully! I highly recommend and am always pleased with the bulbs from Holland Bulb Farms.

The plants arrived quickly and I planted the following day. I saw quick growth within the week as indicated on the planting instructions. They are not yet mature enough to have bloomed but they look healthy and are growing steadily so I expect to see something soon. Very pleased with this product so far.

Very healthy plant

All the astilbe's I bought are growing just fine in pots till it is time to plant

These roots arrived in nice shape. They are all growing nicely. I don't think they will flower this year as they were planted later in the season, but they are looking healthy for a plant that was just a bare root not long ago.
