Astilbe chinensis is a beautiful garden plant that is often grown as a flower and as a ground cover. Astilbe chinensis are quite tall plants, averaging around twelve to eighteen inches in total without flowers and with flowers they can grow as tall as 2 feet. Due to their graceful height they are often placed in areas of the garden that will use their height to advantage, such as a bordering plant or to line the side of a fence.

The astilbe chinensis is not a difficult plant to grow as long as you know the soil, water, temperature, and sun requirements. For optimum growth, you should plant Astilbe in average soil in an area that gets good drainage. It’s important that the soil has good drainage because excessively wet soil could cause the roots to rot away. These plants are not very resilient against excessive heat or sunlight, therefore the area that you plant your Astilbe in should ideally receive partial shade or full shade. They do not have a large watering requirement, however you should not allow the soil to completely dry out as the plant's leaves are susceptible to scorching.
