About the Astilbe -
Fanal :
The Astilbe ‘Fanal’, Astilbe arendsii, is a
colorful feathery flower with deep red blooms and
lacy deep green or bronze-green foliage. The foliage
in spring is mahogany but as autumn approaches the
blooms turn to shades of brown that look wonderful
in winter snowscapes. The flowers contrast
wonderfully with the dark green glossy foliage.
Astilbe ‘Fanal’ blooms in mid summer and is 24” tall
and a plant width of 18-24”.
Do not allow Astilbe ‘Fanal’ to dry out. It is
most successfully grown in a shady area but can
tolerate some morning sun. A moist, well-drained
area is key for this plant. In order to keep Astilbe
looking good for the next year, do not cut it back
in the winter, (the old foliage helps protect the
plant from winter damage), but prune in early
spring. Astilbe can be used as cut flowers,
perennial borders or shade gardens with Hosta’s and
Ferns. Astilbe is considered to be deer resistant
and will attract hummingbirds. |
