I ordered astilbe plants from Michigan Bulb Co. to be planted in fall, well when they arrived it was to cold to plant them in my garden, I live in Minnesota. I planted them in a planter, now that they are growing they are getting about 4-5 inches tall, I thinking they will be just be tall and thin-punie looking and not the way they are suppose to grow when outside, what do I do- any sugestions? thanks for your help.

Hi Irma, sorry you did not get your plants out in time. Hope this is helpful Can you grow astilbe indoors?
If potting a flowering plant to bring indoors or to give as a gift plant, start with a good quality, commercial potting soil. These are usually lighter in weight than topsoil, sterile and pest-free. ... Insert the plant into the hole and press soil firmly around the roots and just covering the root ball.
