Astilbe × arendsii 'Glut' - 2026

Astilbe × arendsii 'Glut' is a vibrant perennial prized for its striking plumes of fiery deep pink to red flowers that bloom in midsummer above dark green, finely divided foliage. Its feathery flower spikes create a bold, textured display, adding both vertical interest and vivid colour to shaded borders, woodland gardens, or near water features. The long-lasting blooms combined with the ornamental foliage make it ideal for group plantings or mixed perennial borders, providing continuous visual appeal throughout the flowering season.

Thriving in humus-rich, consistently moist soil, it prefers partial to full shade and benefits from regular watering during dry spells. Low-maintenance and reliable, 'Glut' requires only cutting back spent stems after flowering and occasional mulching to conserve soil moisture. Its nectar-rich flowers attract pollinators, enhancing both the ornamental and ecological value of shaded garden spaces.
