This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
"Dark stems and equally dark toothed foliage support masses of airy deep-red flowers making this shorter astilbe a dramatic partner for variegated cream and white hostas"

Astilbe 'Fanal' is the brightest red and adds a wonderful spash of colour to shady areas. It looks great planted amongst ferns and tolerates shade well. Needs relatively moist soil.
