Plant Features

Astilbe chinensis 'Vision in Red' produces tall feathery plumes with reddish buds that open to a reddish-purple flower rising above its beautiful foliage. It makes a colorful focal point in your shade garden. Vision in Red is shipped as a bare root, a method we favor for its ability to establish quickly, double in size compared to its potted counterparts within the first season, and omit the necessity for plastic pots—providing an eco-friendly advantage.


Common Names: chinese astilbe, false spirea, false goat's beard


Astilbe Companion Plants: Ferns, Helleborus, Hosta


Astilbe Plant Care Instructions: Ensure your plants remain consistently hydrated, as allowing them to dry out can be detrimental. The faded flowers may be pruned to encourage further blooming, or left intact to add enduring visual interest to your garden. Come early winter, consider trimming back the foliage to a modest 2 inches above the ground to promote healthy, vibrant growth in the forthcoming spring season.
