I have worked with A.D.R. Bulbs for almost 5 years now, and my company has sourced bulbs with them for longer than that. Communication is great - from ordering, to deliveries, to follow-ups on final product. I love the quality of the product as well as the service. We plant nearly 100,000 bulbs and A.D.R. keeps the whole process easy for us!

Astilbe arendsii 'Color Flash' (Ships in Spring)

False Spirea

Astilbe 'Color Flash' is a unique perennial known for its vibrant foliage that changes throughout the seasons. Emerging in spring as bright green, the leaves mature to shades of burgundy, purple, and green before turning gold and orange in the fall. In mid to late summer, it produces soft pink flower plumes that contrast beautifully with its colorful foliage. Thriving in part to full shade, it prefers moist, well-drained soil and requires consistent watering to maintain its lush appearance. Resistant to deer and rabbits, it is a reliable choice for woodland gardens, borders, and containers. Suitable for USDA zones 4-8.

Growing and Maintenance Tips for Astilbe arendsii 'Color Flash' (Ships in Spring)

Planting: Best planted in spring or fall, avoiding the hottest part of summer. Set bare-root divisions 2 to 3 inches deep, ensuring the crown is just below the soil surface.
Location: Prefers partial shade, though it can tolerate full sun with ample moisture.
Soil: Requires rich, moist, well-drained soil with a slightly acidic pH around 6.0.
Watering: Keep soil consistently moist; drought can cause foliage to brown.
Spacing: Plant 12 to 24 inches apart, depending on variety.
Fertilization: Apply organic matter or balanced fertilizer in early spring to support strong blooms.
Pruning: No deadheading needed; cut back foliage in late winter before new growth emerges.
Propagation: Divide clumps every three to four years in early spring or fall.
Pest & Disease: Generally pest-free, though Japanese beetles may feed on foliage. Avoid excessive moisture to prevent fungal issues.
