Lowlands Ruby Red' Astilbe
Astilbe chinensis 'Lowlands Ruby Red'
‘Lowlands Ruby Red’ is a resilient and striking perennial that thrives in shaded gardens. In summer, when color is scarce in shady areas, this variety produces long, vibrant ruby-red flower spikes above lush, divided foliage, creating a bold visual impact. Perfect for woodland borders, mass plantings, or ground cover, it offers an extended bloom time with careful variety selection from mid-June through August. Thriving in consistently moist or wet soil, ‘Lowlands Ruby Red’ is tough, pest-free, and low-maintenance. While highly adaptable, it does not tolerate drought. For a fresh floral display, cut blooms when they are half open.
