Company Name

Astilbe chinensis Purple Candles

Very handsome, dark-green and bronze foliage with narrow purple flowers. Will flower later than most astilbes.

In order to keep Astilbe looking good for the next year, do not cut it back in the winter, (the old foliage helps protect the plant from winter damage), but prune in early spring. Astilbe can be used as cut flowers, perennial borders or shade gardens with Hosta’s and Ferns. Astilbe is considered to be deer resistant and will attract hummingbirds.
