How do I care for my ColorFlash astilbe over winter?
In zones 5 and below, add some extra mulch (wood, chopped leaves, etc.) around the plants if snow-cover is not expected. In warmer climates, make certain that it does not dry out over winter/cooler months.
Can ColorFlash astilbe be planted in full sun?
In cooler growing areas this may be possible; however, ColorFlash will perform better in filtered sun or shade in temperate to hot locations.
Is ColorFlash astilbe drought tolerant?
Once established ColorFlash will be more tolerant of dry conditions, however, it will perform at its best in a well-watered shady garden or a garden exposed to filtered sun.
Does ColorFlash only develop the rich burgundy foliage color in autumn?
Early in the spring, ColorFlash will start out green, but rapidly changes to the bronze, burgundy leaf shades, which will be retained until late fall.
