Description

Astilbe Taquetii will make a dramatic statement in any garden with its lance-shaped, deep lilac flower plumes and fern-like foliage which emerges as a mahogany-red before changing to dark green. Plumes consist of hundreds of densely packed flowers opening in succession for a long-lasting colorful display.
