Astilbe chinensis 'Vision in Red' (Pinkish-Purple)
Astilbe arendsii 'Fanal'
1 gallon pot
Pinkish-purple plumes are striking against the lush foliage, followed by dried seed heads that are quite ornamental as well. Dense and upright form. Relatively trouble-free, requiring little maintenance, is heavy shade tolerant, and attracts butterflies but is deer and rabbit resistant. The perfect perennial for a shady border with dappled light.
