Astilbe arendsii 'Burgundy Red'

Need to add colour and brightness to a shady area? Try out 'Burgundy Red', a top pick of Wendy's for the season that will liven up your shade garden.

Astilbes are good in shady areas of your garden but will really shine if given a little more light. ‘Burgundy Red’ is well known for its deep red plumes, full of bunches of tiny flowers. They’ll bloom longer if well-watered. Amazing as cut flowers, deer resistant, and they are awesome in containers. 

Considered the best red-coloured Astilbe, ‘Burgundy Red’ will really pop in those shady spots that are often lacking in colour!

The deeply divided, nearly fern-like foliage provide beauty of its own. Astilbes are terrific shade plants, with their showy, graceful flower plumes, deep green, finely-divided foliage, and easy care. The astilbe bloom season begins mid June and lasts through July into August. The attractive skeletal flower heads even add winter interest. Abundant blooms make them outstanding candidates for both cutting and drying.
