Astilbe chinensis Vision in Red

Astilbe is a perennial with feathery, rich foliage. Its dark green, lacy foliage is decorative throughout the whole season, so it always provides a striking sight, not only during flowering. Its height can reach 40-70 cm. Its large, purple-red flowers bloom in dense, long panicles from June to September. It prefers a shady or partially shaded spot, but can also be grown in a sunny spot in areas with cooler summers. It needs well-structured, moist, slightly acidic, nutrient-rich soil. Its water needs are high. It is excellent for decorating shady beds, woodland gardens, or even ponds and stream banks.
