They get to a point where they just pull right out.

However, I do have a 'Cheyenne Spirit' also that I just love. I have lots of the common coneflowers here, but 'Cheyenne' is one of the few hybrids that has done well for me, and I do love all those different colored blooms.

I'm particularly envious of the coneflowers, which are sadly very short-lived here.

Astilbe does prefer a shady, moist location, so you may need a little more irrigation there. You may want to look into the Visions Collection.
