Astilbe red is a moisture-loving bog plant that brings colour to damp ground around the pond and to partly shaded spots where many sun-loving plants struggle. It gives bog gardens and moist borders bright red flower plumes through the summer, with foliage that stays attractive once the blooms fade. Supplied as a single plant in a 1 litre pot, ready to plant straight into moist ground.
Astilbe red grows in full sun or partial shade, provided the soil stays reliably moist; where the soil may dry out in summer, a partly shaded spot is best. It suits bog gardens, damp ground beside ponds and borders where the soil stays consistently moist. The plant helps add colour to damp corners of the garden through its bright red flower plumes, while its dark green foliage stays attractive once flowering ends.
