Wonderful deep red astilbe. Blooms generally in late July. Medium height (24"), lacy, rich green foliage. Will tolerate full sun where soil is moist but prefers partial sun. I've also had a plant that continues to grow on the north side of our house with no sun, although it tends to not be as dramatic as those planted in partial sun. Fertilize well in spring, or often over the growing season. Nice bunched with other astilbes that bloom at various times.
