Red Sentinel Astilbe Bare Root

Astilbes are renowned for their magical impact in shady borders and woodland settings. This is the finest red astilbe we astilbe-aficionados have come across. Unleashes a long-running spectacular of tiny scarlet-red flowers held in arcing, pluming, lacy panicles. Blooming from early- to mid-summer, this standard-setting beauty commands admiration. Outsize clusters of red florets are perched on ruby-red 30” stems issuing from clumping 18” mounds of glossy green leaves with red undertones. Trouble-free plants prefer shady spots with moderately moist, well-draining soil. A fine candidate for a favorite vase.
