Astilbe Amethyst
Astilbe x arendsii 'Amethyst'
This superb hybrid with elegant, lavender blossoms represents a color breakthrough for astilbes. Feathery plumes appear for up to four weeks in early to midsummer, and move airily above the foliage with the slightest breeze. Delicate, fern-like foliage is ornamental in its own right.
Growing & Maintenance Tips:
Water well in dry hot summer - does not like to dry out. Easy to grow, tough and hardy, Astilbe are now a mainstay in all good perennial gardens. Native to the far east, these beautiful plants and their hybrids have revolutionized the perennial possibilities of moist, shaded American gardens.
