Astilbe 'Obergärtner Jürgens' - 2026

Astilbe 'Obergärtner Jürgens' is a compact perennial celebrated for its deep crimson-red, feathery flower plumes that stand out vividly against rich green foliage. Blooming in early to mid-summer, its upright flowers provide height and structure to shaded borders, woodland gardens, and damp garden areas. The striking colour of its blooms offers excellent contrast when paired with lighter or pastel-coloured plants, making it a versatile addition to mixed perennial plantings.

This cultivar thrives in moist, humus-rich soils and prefers partial to full shade, though it can tolerate morning sun if kept well-watered. Low-maintenance and reliable, Astilbe 'Obergärtner Jürgens' benefits from mulching to retain soil moisture and cutting back old stems after flowering. Its nectar-rich flowers are attractive to pollinators, adding both ornamental and ecological value to shaded garden spaces.
