Astilbe Arendsii Group

	Astilbe Arendsii Group ''Astilbe'' Arendsii Group (''Astilbe'' × ''arendsii'') is a cultivar group of complex hybrids with ''A. astilboides'', ''A. chinensis'', ''A. japonica'', ''A. thunbergii'' and others. They are all perennial, herbaceous plants with flowers in various shades from white to purplish red. Numerous cultivars exist, a majority of them produced by breeders in Germany and Holland. The name is derived from the surname of German horticulturist Georg Arends Georg Adalbert Arends (1863–1952) was a German horticulturist. He is best known for his work with herbaceous perennial plants. Education and training Arends was born to the nurseryman Karl Arends and Sophie Steckel on 21 September 1863 in Esse ... who was responsible for nearly all hybrid cultivars sold in North America.

	Astilbe ''Astilbe'' is a genus of 18 species of rhizome, rhizomatous flowering plants within the family (biology), family Saxifragaceae, native plant, native to mountain ravines and woodlands in Asia and North America. Some species are known by the common names false goat's beard and false spirea. These hardiness (plants), hardy herbaceous perennial plant, perennials are cultivated by gardeners for their large, handsome, often fern-like foliage and dense, feathery plumes of flowers. They are widely adapted to shade and water-logged conditions, hence they are particularly associated with pond-side planting. They also tolerate clay soils well. Numerous Hybrid (biology), hybrid cultivars have been raised. Flowers of at least some ''Astilbe'' species have a strong and pleasant aroma. Some species, including ''Astilbe rivularis'', are used in traditional medicine. Species Species of ''Astilbe'' include: ''Astilbe biternata'' (Vent.)

picture info	Cultivar A cultivar is a type of cultivated plant that people have selected for desired traits and when propagated retain those traits. Methods used to propagate cultivars include: division, root and stem cuttings, offsets, grafting, tissue culture, or carefully controlled seed production. Most cultivars arise from purposeful human manipulation, but some originate from wild plants that have distinctive characteristics. Cultivar names are chosen according to rules of the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants (ICNCP), and not all cultivated plants qualify as cultivars. Horticulturists generally believe the word ''cultivar''''Cultivar'' () has two meanings, as explained in ''Formal definition'': it is a classification category and a taxonomic unit within the category. When referring to a taxon, the word does not apply to an individual plant but to all plants that share the unique characteristics that define the cultivar. was coined as a term meaning "cultivated variety ...

	Georg Arends Georg Adalbert Arends (1863–1952) was a German horticulturist. He is best known for his work with herbaceous perennial plants. Education and training Arends was born to the nurseryman Karl Arends and Sophie Steckel on 21 September 1863 in Essen, Prussia. Since he was the seventh of twelve children and was not the eldest son, he was not expected to inherit the family's plant nursery. He nevertheless became interested in plants, training at Geisenheim Grape Breeding Institute and completing an apprenticeship at the Botanical Garden of Breslau. Arends moved to the United Kingdom in 1885, where he was exposed to a relaxed garden style that differed from the German trend in putting more emphasis on perennials than on shrubs. After a year of working in a nursery in Tottenham, Arends went to the Imperial Free City of Trieste, where he was trained by Giulio Perotti. Career Arends returned to his homeland in 1888, and started a nursery in Wuppertal. The business took off. On 14 May ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
