why plant astilbe? Astilbes are excellent at creating soft, colorful displays underneath trees, in low-light corners, or in shady borders. These low-maintenance perennial plants make lovely foliage, and in late spring, send up plume-like flowers in a host of rich, glowing colors.

'Chocolate Shogun' Astilbe is a one of kind, with unique, dark purple-brown foliage and pale pink blooms that form on upright spires. An easy way to add long lasting color to any part-shade to full-shade garden, 'Chocoltae Shogun' tends to be more tolerant of sun than other astilbes, but still requires moist soil.

‘Erika’ Astilbe presents upright, bright pink plumes formed on deep red stems. At home in shady moist soils, Erika’s foliage starts the season out red and slowly turns to green. An excellent cut flower that lasts and lasts in the vase. Deer resistant and easy to grow. (Astilbe arendsii)
