Astilbe Milk and Honey

Astilbe Milk and Honey

Shadowy spaces get a much-needed glow-up with generous plantings of Milk and Honey Astilbe. This shade-loving perennial is sure to become a favorite of clients, gardeners AND pollinators! The easy-to-grow plants produce several fluffy, creamy white flower heads tipped in a fresh green hue. As time passes, the flowers change to soft pink, giving the area an entirely new look. Bushy, lightly marbled foliage creates a fine display even after the blooms are spent. Makes an ideal pairing with ferns or hostas. Deer and rabbits tend to avoid the flowers.

Important Shipping Notes:

Breck's times its shipments from Holland so that bulbs and bareroots arrive at the proper planting time (depending on climatic conditions) for each area of North America. To promote optimum stress protection in transit and your success in the garden, bareroot perennials are kept in the ground in our nurseries until fully dormant. In the Fall, these plants tend to arrive at the later end of the shipping window below.

We will pack and ship your order based on the following schedules. The type of product you order or the weather may affect the anticipated shipping schedule below. Based on the contents of your order we always strive to ship your order complete, and as early as possible in the planting season to allow for the best root development once planted.
