To plant Astilbe ‘Peach Blossom’, look for the following exposure: sun to partial shade and suitable soil (kept moist, Clayey). For Astilbe ‘Peach Blossom’, regularly check the soil around the root ball: it should remain fresh. Water at the base when the surface begins to dry and adjust watering according to rainfall; this exposure (sun to partial shade) does not eliminate the need for water. A margin corresponding to its spread of 50 cm avoids having to move the clump in the first few seasons. The indicated hardiness level is zone 3, to be assessed according to your garden's conditions.

When planting Astilbe ‘Peach Blossom’, monitor watering during hot weather and remove old stems when the clump regrows in spring. The drying out of the root ball shortens the flowering of astilbes and can cause the edges of the leaves to brown. For associations, consider daylilies, campanulas, and perennial geraniums in varieties with similar needs. By arranging around its volume of 60 cm by 50 cm, you will preserve the visibility of its bloom (June-July) and circulation between plants.
