Astilbe × arendsii 'Amethyst' - 2026

Astilbe × arendsii 'Amethyst' is a beautiful perennial hybrid known for its soft lilac-purple, feathery flower plumes that rise above finely divided, dark green, fern-like foliage. Blooming from mid to late summer, the upright flower spikes create a striking vertical accent in shaded borders, woodland gardens, or alongside ponds and water features. Its nectar-rich flowers attract bees and butterflies, supporting garden pollinators while adding vibrant colour to shady areas. Hardy and easy to grow, 'Amethyst' thrives in moist, well-drained soil with partial to full shade, providing long-lasting colour and interest. Regular deadheading helps maintain a tidy appearance and can encourage prolonged flowering, making it a dependable choice for shade-loving gardens seeking elegant summer displays.
