Astilbe ‘Montgomery’

Product Details

Astilbe ‘Montgomery’ produces fiery raspberry blooms on deep crimson stems. Its glossy foliage emerges reddish bronze in the spring, and changes to deep forest green at maturity. Vibrant color in the dense, triangular plumes offers a striking contrast to white-flowering plants—enjoy this showy perennial in your midsummer garden. A Proven Winners® variety.

Astilbe is a rugged and beautiful genus of shade lovers that throw colorful spikes above divided foliage in summer, a time when color in the shade garden is hard to come by. Use them in groups in the woodland border, or mass them to create a ground cover. In evenly moist or wet soil, Astilbes are tough, pest-free, and handsome. The only thing they cannot endure is drought. The blooms are useful for cutting if they are picked when half open.
