Astilbe ‘Purple Candles’ #1

Statuesque, purple-red plumes glow against bronze and green foliage. This tall variety blooms in early summer, later than other Astilbe. Lavish pillars of thick flower panicles rise above the 24” foliage mound. Astilbe are mainstays of shade and woodland gardens. They combine well with other moisture-loving plants like Brunnera, Ligularia, Lobelia, and Hosta.

• Bloom Time: Early to mid-summer
• Light Requirements: Full Shade to Part Shade (3 to 6 Hours)
