Re: [SG] astilbe chinensis

Chinensis pumila has another attribute, too.  It usually flowers, for me
anyway, at the time my bleeding heart foliage is dying  back.  I have it
planted all around the bleeding hearts.

I also want to thank you for the list of astilbes.  There are so many anymore,
it's hard to know which to order.  I like the smallest, A. liliput and perkeo.
Any suggestions on culture to get a good stand of them?  I am still growing
perkeo, but it doesn't bloom and doesn't increase, so I'm sure it's not happy.
Are there any other really small ones that I need?

 Another aspect of this astilbe is that it will prosper in dryer soil than the
 rest of the family.  I am on a mountainside with all gardens sloped so I
 appreciate this astilbe.
