Astilbe Cardinal

Astilbe Cardinal brings delicate, feathery crimson plumes to shaded garden spaces from mid to late summer. This perennial thrives in moist, well-draining soil and partial to full shade, growing 24–30 inches tall with fine, fern-like foliage that provides season-long textural interest. The deep red flowers attract pollinators and cut beautifully for arrangements. Hardy in zones 3–9, Cardinal pairs well with hostas, ferns, and shade-loving companions. Low-maintenance once established, it prefers consistent moisture and benefits from organic mulch. Ideal for woodland gardens, borders, and shaded mixed beds.
