My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

purple chinese astilbe

17 years ago

Hi there,

I received a bag of chinese astilbe from a co-worker today. I'm having a hard time finding decent information on soil (moist vs. dry) or sun exposure on this particular plant. I want to make this one work as I have not had much luck with astilbe...

Thanks for your help!
