Paint your landscape by layering in the bold tones and shapes of perennials. Their beautiful flowers set the stage for fun times with family and friends all season long.
One of the showiest selections is the Chocolate Shogun Astilbe (Astilbe thunbergii 'Chocolate Shogun' PP #26,430). Deep, bronzy purple foliage is finely dissected and adds both soft texture and intense color all season.
Starting in summer, tall spires of plume-like blooms start developing above the dramatic foliage display. Each is composed of many hundreds of tiny flowers, which support the nectar needs of local butterflies and beneficial pollinators.
The buds start off a bright pink, but open white. The high contrast between the basal clump of dark purple-brown leaves and the pristine flowers jumpstart a dynamic early summertime show.
Let the erect blooms open fully on the plant, then snip a few for long-lasting indoors cut flower arrangements. Allow them to dry for a long-lasting dried arrangement all winter, then start over afresh with next year's blooms.
This particular variety is known for its ability to withstand more sunlight than others in cooler climates with adequate moisture. In all other Zones, provide a spot in a dappled shade garden.
Sophisticated Chocolate Shogun is a great choice for both modern gardens and Cottage style designs. At once strong, and softly delicate...this Astilbe provides painterly detail that works at ground level.
You can also grow them in outdoor containers to suit the requirements of small space gardens. Try them in a pretty "Filler" to provide support for a topiary evergreen or columnar Apple tree.
This cold-hardy selection is a steadfast perennial. It will perform beautifully for you year after year with proper care.
No wonder this is such a popular plant!
