Product description
Astilbe Happy Day is an elegant addition to the Astilbe genus, with its gorgeous white blooms that appear in July and August. Clump-forming and dense, this herbaceous perennial is also ideal for filling smaller spaces due to its compact size. The flowers form in upright clusters at the peak of vertical stems, surrounded by serrated green leaves. This variety will also reach an ultimate height and spread of 0.5m.
Commonly known as False Goat's Beard, Astilbe plants are pretty low maintenance. An area of full sun or partial shade is preferred, as well as being planted in moist, well-drained, loamy soil. You should also water the plant when the soil is dry to touch, ensuring it continues to thrive and flourish in any pots, containers, borders, patios or flower beds.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.
