Astilbe 'Mighty Chocolate Cherry' - 2026

Astilbe 'Mighty Chocolate Cherry' is a striking perennial valued for its rich, deep burgundy-red flower plumes that rise above dark green foliage with a bronze tint. Blooming from mid to late summer, its feathery flowers create a bold vertical accent in shaded borders, woodland gardens, or along damp garden areas. The dark, vibrant blooms provide dramatic contrast against lighter-coloured plants, making it an eye-catching addition to mixed perennial plantings.

Thriving in moist, humus-rich soils, Astilbe 'Mighty Chocolate Cherry' prefers partial to full shade and performs best when the soil remains consistently damp. Low-maintenance and reliable, it benefits from mulching to retain soil moisture and cutting back old stems after flowering. Its nectar-rich flowers attract bees and other pollinators, adding both ornamental appeal and ecological value to shaded garden spaces.
