Astilbe 'Younique Carmine' - 2026

Astilbe 'Younique Carmine' is a striking perennial featuring bold, deep carmine-red plume-like flowers that rise above a dense mound of rich green foliage. Blooming from mid to late summer, its upright, feathery flowers create a vivid vertical accent in shaded borders, woodland gardens, or near damp planting areas. The intense red tones provide dramatic contrast with lighter-coloured perennials, adding vibrant colour and texture to shaded garden spaces.

Thriving in moist, humus-rich soils, Astilbe 'Younique Carmine' prefers partial to full shade and performs best when the soil is kept consistently damp. Low-maintenance and reliable, it benefits from mulching to retain moisture and cutting back old stems after flowering. Its nectar-rich blooms attract bees and other pollinators, enhancing both ornamental charm and ecological value in shaded plantings.
