The Astilbe Chinensis Visions in Red PP#119, 'Chinensis Visions', produces rusty maroon red flowers that are tinted with a faint rosy tone that is ever- changing as the flower plume matures throughout the spring. Astilbe is admired for its attractive foliage and elegant flower plumes. These spring blooming beauties are ideal for borders, containers, and gardens on the edge of woodlands. Throughout the summer lacy deep green foliage adds ferny texture to garden beds long after the blooms have faded. Mass astilbe in groups in partly shaded gardens for maximum color and impact. Astilbe needs well drained, but moist and highly organic soil; humusy forest gardens are a perfect example of where these plants will thrive.
