Notes
'Jump and Jive' florist's spiraea (Astilbe 'Jump and Jive') is a perennial for borders, cottage gardens, shade gardens, and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun to full shade and average to wet, loamy soil. It grows 12 to 24 inches tall and draws butterflies and bees. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. You can enjoy its blooms in spring, summer, and autumn.
