Sunlight
The Bridal Veil Astilbe requires partial to full shade and moist, well-drained soil.
Watering
Bridal Veil Astilbe requires consistently moist soil to thrive. It is important to water it regularly, especially during dry periods, to keep the soil damp. Adequate moisture is essential for the plant's growth and to prevent wilting.
Fertilizing
Bridal Veil Astilbe requires a balanced fertilizer with a ratio of approximately 10-10-10 or 14-14-14. The fertilizer should be applied in early spring or late fall to promote healthy growth and abundant blooms.
Bridal Veil Astilbe, also known as Astilbe x arendsii ‘Bridal Veil’, is a compact perennial, a winner of the Royal Horticulture Society's Award of Garden Merit. The clump-forming perennial is mostly remarkable for its pure white flowers.
The ivory-white flowers rise in luminous, pyramidal plumes against beautiful, deep green foliage. The flowers bloom in early to mid-summer. Each plume consists of hundreds of densely packed tiny flowers that open in succession for a long-lasting floral display.
With winter, the flowers of Bridal Veil Astilbe turn a rich caramel color that provides winter interest. The lovely flowers attract butterflies, adding even more beauty to your shade garden.
Reaching a maximum height of 2 feet tall with 1.5 feet width, Bridal Veil is also perfect for any garden size, fitting equally well in small and big gardens.
This white astilbe is hardy to USDA growing zones 4-9 and is relatively low maintenance.
Bridal Veil Astilbe prefers partial shade to full shade. In the cooler USDA zones, it can tolerate the full sun if it's sufficiently watered.
But under the sun, and if the soil dries, the leaves will turn brown and the flowers will also suffer with them. Generally, it should at least be planted in a part shade location.
The plant thrives in soil enriched with organic matter. Plant it in evenly moist, well-drained soils. Removing old foliage in early spring is recommended to keep a neat appearance and encourage more vigorous growth.
The plant is also deer resistant. It has no serious disease problems but powdery mildew can occur if ideal conditions aren't provided.
Whether planted in perennial borders, woodland gardens, near ponds and streams, or in containers, this plant will steal the show. Order yours from Shrubhub today and enjoy this white beauty.

Pollination Info
Pollination Information for Bridal Veil Astilbe (Astilbe x arendsii 'Bridal Veil')
Bridal Veil Astilbe is a perennial flowering plant that belongs to the Saxifrage family. It is a popular garden plant that produces beautiful, fluffy, white flowers in the summer months.
Pollination is an important process for the production of seeds and the overall health of the plant. Bridal Veil Astilbe is pollinated by bees, butterflies, and other insects that are attracted to the nectar and pollen produced by the flowers.
The flower structure of the Bridal Veil Astilbe is designed to attract pollinators. The flowers are arranged in a dense, pyramidal-shaped inflorescence, with each individual flower consisting of five petals and a central cluster of stamens and pistils.
When a pollinator visits the Bridal Veil Astilbe flower, it collects the nectar and pollen and transfers it to other flowers as it moves along the inflorescence. This allows for cross-pollination and the production of genetically diverse seeds.
Bridal Veil Astilbe is self-fertile, meaning that it is capable of producing seeds through self-pollination. However, cross-pollination by insects is more efficient and leads to greater genetic diversity, which is beneficial for the long-term health of the plant.
In summary, Bridal Veil Astilbe is pollinated by bees, butterflies, and other insects that are attracted to the nectar and pollen produced by the flowers. Cross-pollination is preferred for the production of genetically diverse seeds and the overall health of the plant.
