Astilbe chinensis 'Purple Candle'
This striking perennial features tall, poker-like plumes that emerge in a rich violet-red hue, gradually softening as they mature. Blooming in midsummer, the vibrant flowers rise above bold, dark green foliage with a coarse texture, creating a dramatic contrast. With its unique form, fragrant blooms, and eye-catching color, ‘Purple Candle’ is perfect for adding depth and interest to shaded borders, woodland gardens, and moist landscapes. Thrives in partial shade with consistently moist soil.
