Purple-red plumes top the rugged, rich green foliage in late summer, making a more pronounced statement than you'd expect from most Astilbes. Pair Astilbe chinensis var. taquetii 'Purple Candles' with the gray-green and wine red of Japanese Painted Fern. A Proven Winners® variety.
Astilbe is a genus of rugged and beautiful plants for part shade that throw lovely flower spikes above Fern-like foliage in summer. Use them in groups in the woodland border, or mass them to create a ground cover. Bloom varies by variety from mid-June to the end of August; with careful selection, the display can be sustained through most of summer. In evenly moist or wet soil, Astilbes are tough, pest-free, and handsome. The only thing they cannot endure is drought. The blooms are useful for cutting if they are picked when half open.
