Astilbe chinensis 'Mighty Chocolate Cherry'
Astilbe chinensis 'Mighty Chocolate Cherry'
This giant, late blooming astilbe has clusters of deep rose-pink flowers on cherry-red stems. Huge flower clusters are held above large clumps of ferny dark bronze foliage that becomes more green after flowering. I’m not sure what chocolate has to do with it, but this is most certainly a luscious plant! MCC is a big one at 36-48”.
Astilbe produce large plumes in various sizes and shapes. Each plume consists of hundreds of tiny flowers, each opening in succession, providing a long season of bloom. Plumes make excellent fresh cuts or for drying in natural bouquets. Astilbe grow best in moist soils and semi-shade. Will tolerate more sun with adequate moisture. Excellent for the woodland garden. Plant in mass for a stunning display.
