I feel in love with Asilbes, so pretty! The best one ever looked was when I bought it! So I bought 2 more in different colors and planted them along my back fence in the shade. Everything I have read on them say shade. So this season my pink one got 2 puny blooms.
So yesterday I took the smallest one and dug it up and transplanted to a completely different spot in the yard that gets morning sun and see what it does next season. The others in their original spots look healthy and green, just never bloomed. I am toying with the idea of digging them up and put them in the other area that gets morning sun so maybe they actually do something next year instead of waiting yet another season of them not if I don`t move them. Has anyone here actually had Astilbes in shade, just shade, that blooms?
You can complain because roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because they have roses!
