Habitat of the herb: the herb: Damp woods and along shady streams. Open broad-leaved forests, forest edges and amongst shrubs. Forests, forest margins, meadows, valleys and riversides, 400 - 3600 metres.

Other uses of Astilbe chinensis: A first class ground cover plant, the lower-growing cultivar "Pumila" is particularly recommended.

Propagation of the herb: Seed - we have no details for this species but suggest sowing the seed in a greenhouse in early spring. Only just cover the seed. When large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and grow them on in a cold frame until they are at least 20cm tall. Plant them out in the summer, or late in the following autumn. Division in spring. This is best done every 3 - 4 years in order to maintain the vigour of the plant. Larger divisions can be planted straight into their permanent positions whist smaller clumps are best potted up and kept in a cold frame until they are growing away well.

Cultivation of Astilbe chinensis: Damp woods and along shady streams. Open broad-leaved forests, forest edges and amongst shrubs. Forests, forest margins, meadows, valleys and riversides, 400 - 3600 metres.
