Astilbe chinensis 'Mighty Red Quin' - 2026

Astilbe chinensis 'Mighty Red Quin' is a compact perennial prized for its upright plumes of vibrant pink flowers that bloom in midsummer above finely divided green foliage. Its feathery flower spikes create a lively, textured display, adding colour and charm to shaded borders, woodland gardens, or pondside plantings. The long-lasting blooms and attractive foliage provide continuous visual interest, ideal for mixed perennial beds or small groupings.

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