Fanal Astilbe
Astilbe x arendsii ‘Fanal’
 
Elegant and eye-catching, Fanal Astilbe adds rich colour and fine texture to shaded garden spaces. Known for its bold, deep red plumes and dark bronze-green foliage, this classic variety offers a dramatic contrast in woodland borders, shaded beds, and moisture-loving perennial plantings.
 
Blooming in early to mid-summer, Fanal produces feathery, upright flower spikes that attract bees and butterflies while adding vertical interest to the garden. Its compact size—growing 18–24 inches tall and 12–18 inches wide—makes it ideal for smaller gardens, edging, or planting in groups for a lush, layered effect.
 
Perfectly suited for Canadian gardens, this hardy perennial thrives in partial shade and moist, rich soil, making it an excellent choice for damp areas, such as around ponds or in shaded borders. It's also deer-resistant and provides long-lasting colour even after blooms begin to fade.
 
Add vibrant colour and graceful texture to your shaded garden with Fanal Astilbe—a reliable favourite that performs beautifully in Canada’s cool, damp garden spots.
