Description

Lavender Astilbe Bare Root Plants for Sale | Chinensis Pumila

Chinensis Pumila is among the last Astilbes to bloom, and it puts on one heck of a grand finale! This clump-forming perennial makes wonderful groundcover, filling sheltered outdoor spaces with finely cut foliage and spiky lavender flowers. Not to mention, the lovely lilac blossoms tend to be more sun-resistant and will lure in butterflies for miles!

As one of the later blooming varieties, this purple powerhouse is excellent for extending the season and ensuring shady gardens stay colorful for weeks during the summer. Plus, you can further keep the flowers coming by removing faded blooms. Enjoy!

Unfortunately these guys never grew. Bought them last spring along with some other colors. The other colors grew well but these never did. I knew right when I got them that they were likely not going to produce. The tubers were so small it was actually difficult to find them among the packing material which is like a saw dust sort of fiber. They were very very small and not obvious like the two other colors I got. I should have returned them at the time but I was just too busy to deal with it. And sure enough, after no growth last year and a whole year in the ground now there’s also no growth this year. Kind of a shame, the purple color looks like it would be pretty.

The root feels firm and has tiny green sprouts. I think it will sprout nicely!
The shipping took a while - ordered on April 20, arrived on May 18, but still within planting window.
Edit to give an update: it was the first one of the 3 different varieties to sprout and is still thriving. It’s been 3 weeks, so I’m very happy with the purchase and highly recommend it to everyone!
