Astilbe ‘Burgundy Red’ in 1 Gallon Pot

Description

Astilbe × arendsii ‘Burgundy Red’ is a clump-forming perennial prized for its deep red, plume-like flowers that rise above finely divided, glossy green foliage. Blooming typically occurs from June to July, adding vibrant colour to shaded garden areas. The plant reaches a mature height of approximately 18 to 24 inches (46 to 61 cm) and spreads about 20 to 22 inches (51 to 56 cm). Hardy in USDA zones 3 through 9, ‘Burgundy Red’ thrives in partial to full shade conditions. It prefers moist, well-drained, organically rich soils and requires consistent moisture to prevent foliage decline during hot or dry periods. This cultivar is also known for its resistance to deer and rabbits, making it a suitable choice for gardens where these animals are prevalent. Additionally, the dried flower heads can provide ornamental interest in the garden during the fall and winter months.
