Amethyst Astilbe
If you have a moist shady area in the garden or landscape that needs a nice pop of color then Amethyst is the right choice for you! Mounds of fern-like, dark green foliage contrast nicely with its feathery plumes of lavender flowers that stand tall above the foliage from early to late summer. Gorgeous in mass plantings!
