Astilbe Fanal

With its dark red, fluffy flower spikes and attractive foliage, Astilbe Fanal adds drama, color and texture to shaded areas. Growing 20" tall, it's a great addition to the perennial border, in bed plantings or even containers! Blooming in early to midsummer, the mass of feathery plumes sway in the summer breeze—and they're great as cut flowers too. Lacy, deep green or bronze-green foliage continues to add texture to your gardens. Plant astilbe in rich, moist soil, in shade or semi-shade and in groups of 5 or more for maximum impact. Deer tend to avoid.
