Part Shade Perennial

Astilbe chinensis Little Vision in Purple (PP21855) differs from ‘Visions’ by its more compact plant habit, more finely dissected leaves, and darker colored flowers. These flowers form a dense block of fuzzy, pyramidal, intense lavender plumes, just above the coarsely textured, dark green foliage in midsummer.

Like all Chinese Astilbes, this one exhibits a bit greater tolerance to drier soils and can take full sun with the proper moisture. Astilbe chinensis varieties are useful for extending the bloom season into late summer.
