Latin Name: Astilbe x arendsii 'Fanal'

Description: Astilbes are classic garden favourites, being relatively low maintenance, very shade tolerant, and attractive to pollinators. The flowers on this cultivar are the darkest red of all the astilbes, and form on plumes. Each dark-crimson plume sits high above dark green dissected fern-like foliage, which ages to show hints of red throughout. Densely packed flowers cover the plumes, each opening individually which provides a long bloom period. This perennial is sure to provide an excellent show of colour in your shady garden areas for seasons to come.
