Introducing the 'Dark Side of the Moon' – a true landscape gem! This exceptional Astilbe stands out as the only dark-leaved variety with enchanting purple blooms available. Its lush foliage creates a striking mound of rich, deep chocolate burgundy leaves that evolve from yellow with a dark margin to a glossy, dark allure as they mature. The elegant dark stems play host to raspberry buds, unfurling into captivating rosy purple flowers.

This unique Astilbe thrives best in full sun in northern regions, coupled with adequate moisture, yet it also flourishes in shaded areas. Belonging to the Astilbe chinensis family, this later bloomer extends the floral display well into late summer. The foliage, deeply incised and coarsely textured, often takes on bronze-green tones, adding a touch of sophistication to any garden. While it prefers moist soils, it displays moderate drought tolerance, making it a versatile and eye-catching addition to your landscape.
