Description / Astilbe 'Sara's Coral' False Spirea
Astilbe 'Sara's Coral' is a shade-loving false spirea that stands at a height of 24 inches and begins blooming in late spring, showcasing large, lush coral-colored plumes made up of hundreds of tiny blossoms that open gradually. The tall, sturdy stems hold these eye-catching plumes above delicate, fern-like foliage. Perfect for cut flower arrangements, fresh or dried, these long-lasting blooms are equally valuable left in the garden, where they provide nectar for bees and butterflies. As the flowers dry, they transform into a caramel hue, adding textural beauty for months.
An Astilbe x arendsii variety, commonly called false spirea, 'Sara's Coral' is a hardy rhizomatous perennial, suited for Zones 4-8. While it establishes slowly, its years of long-lasting beauty in the garden makes them a worthwhile addition. 'Sara's Coral' astilbe is a popular border and accent plant. It thrives around streams and ponds and is indispensable in shade gardens and woodland gardens. It can also be successfully grown in containers.
Relatively easy to care for, 'Sara's Coral' astilbe prefers mild climates and consistently moist conditions. It has better disease resistance and heat tolerance than most astilbe varieties, but it still may struggle in extreme summer heat. 'Sara's Coral' astilbe performs best in part shade or dappled sun but can also grow in full shade in warmer regions or full sun in cooler climates. However, in hot summers, afternoon shade may be beneficial and help to protect the foliage from burning. Regular watering is key, particularly during heatwaves or droughts. This plant thrives in organically rich, evenly moist, and well-drained soil with a slightly acidic pH of around 6.0. Fertilize during planting and annually in spring to support its dramatic flower displays. Deer and rabbit resistant, 'Sara's Coral' is a reliable choice for gardens.
For optimal growth, plant 'Sara's Coral' astilbe roots in spring, burying them 1½ to 2 inches deep and spacing them 18 to 24 inches apart.
