Standing out, Astilbe 'Montgomery' (Astilbe japonica) is a compact, clump-forming perennial boasting dark magenta red flowers held in dense plumes. Blooming in early to mid-summer, each plume consists of hundreds of densely packed tiny flowers opening in succession for a long-lasting floral display. They are held on upright, dark red stems and rise above an attractive mound of fern-like, deep green, glossy foliage, which emerges bronze-red in spring. Long-lasting, the flower plumes turn a rich caramel color which provides winter interest to the garden. This award-winning Astilbe is relatively trouble-free, requires little maintenance, is heavy shade tolerant, and attracts butterflies but is deer and rabbit resistant. The perfect perennial for a shady border with dappled light.
