This Astilbe boasts tall, robust plumes of bright cherry-red to hot pink flowers. The flower plumes are dense and fluffy, creating a significant visual impact. The flowers appear in mid to late summer, extending the Astilbe blooming season. The deeply divided, fern-like foliage is a rich dark green with chocolate-maroon or reddish-chocolate brown overtones, providing excellent color and contrast even when the plant is not in bloom.
