Astilbe are one of the mainstays of the shady garden, blooming mid-summer after the flurry of spring has subsided. Their feathery flowers are held above the foliage, and fill the summer months with colour. Many varieties have bronze or red in the foliage of on the stems which increases their interest. Chinensis varieties bloom later and are more drought resistant than arendsii types. Plant in groups for best effect.

The Variety Astilbe Chin. 'Vision in Red' (which is really more magenta) has been one of our top performers for years....
