Astilbe - Vision in Red Bloom Fall the Appalachian Red redbud explodesThis purple red blooming astilbe can add dramatic color to a shade garden. It blooms later than most astilbe and is useful for extending the bloom season into late summer. The foliage adds texture to the garden with deep fern like incisions and a rough texture.
