mattsmom - yes, it was one huge plant.

Kayly - would the astilbe still get the runoff water if you potted it? If so it could be a gorgeous specimen plant. Just make sure you can get it out of the container when you need to divide it. Maybe if you put it in a larger black nursery pot and then into the decorative container (with a lot of compost as mulch) it would make the eventual dividing job much easier.
