Hardy's on the Road This weekend will see us at the National Gardening Show at Shepton Mallet, Bath & West Showground as well as Robert Hardy attending Wolverton Manor Plant Fair on the Isle of Wight
Hardy's Gardening Tip for the Week: Lots of your summer herbaceous perennials will be setting seeds so this will be the time to be collecting them whilst the weather is still good and the seed heads are dry. Make sure you collect seeds in paper bags and label clearly what you have collected Ensuring that you do not touch the seeds with your hands |
ASTILBE
ASTILBE
SAXIFRAGACEAE
These plants have attractive, cut foliage, which is often bronze-tinged when young. They produce feathery plumes of flower in summer or early autumn.
The 14 species originate in East Asia and eastern North America, where they grow in damp grassland or open woods. However, only four or five species are found in cultivation.
These plants prefer dappled shade and require a fertile, moist, but free-draining soil. They will not tolerate drought during the growing season.
