Astilbe x arendsii 'Amethyst'
False Spirea
An old-fashioned shade garden favorite, Astilble offers gorgeous color to shady spots! The variety 'Amethyst' offers vibrant, soft feathery lavender flowers on tall spikes in late spring. Amethyst Astilbe has a fernlike foliage and will grow in many types of soils, but thrive best when planted in moist, well-drained, shady areas. The flowerheads fade to attractive shades of brown in the fall, providing landscape interest through winter.
False Spirea Growing and Maintenance Tips:
Soil should not be allowed to dry out. Performs best in shady locations. Cut back old foliage in spring.
