Astilbe taquettii – Superba Elegant towers of rosy-mauve plumes bloom on tall, upright stems, rising above a dense mound of glossy, fern-like foliage that emerges mahogany-red before deepening to green. This vigorous Chinese astilbe reaches up to 120cm tall with a spread around 6075cm, making a dramatic statement in late-summer and early-fall shade borders or near water features. One of the latest-flowering astilbes, it’s ideal for adding color when many other blooms are fading. Low-maintenance and tolerant of some sun and heat, it’s also deer- and rabbit-resistant and excellent for cutting. 1 growing root per pack, 2-3 eyes Rosy-mauve late-summer plumes Lacy, glossy foliage Deer- and rabbit-resistant Specifications Details Colour Rosy-mauve flowers Hardiness Zone 3 9 Plant Height 90120cm (3547) Plant Width 6075cm (2329) Sun Requirements Partial to full shade Fragrant No Deer Resistant Yes Plant Timing Spring planting Bloom Timing August Plant Depth Plant crown at soil surface; root ball top just below soil line Plant Spacing 6075cm (2430)
