The Story
Astilbe arendsii – Amethyst
Astilbe ‘Amethyst’ is a graceful shade-loving perennial known for its soft lavender-mauve plumes that rise elegantly above finely cut, deep green foliage. Blooming from early to mid-summer, these feathery flowers add colour, texture, and height to shaded borders, woodland gardens, or damp sites. The blooms are long-lasting, both in the garden and as cut or dried flowers, while the plant’s lush foliage remains attractive throughout the season. Easy to grow and deer-resistant, ‘Amethyst’ thrives in moist, humus-rich soils and brings charm and pollinators to any shady spot.
