Fanal Astilbe

The garnet-red Fanal Astilbe (Astilbe x arendsii ‘Fanal’) is a colorful feathery bloomer, with new foliage appearing mahogany before aging into a lacy deep green/bronze-green for the summer! The crinkled leaves form textured mounds that stand out beautifully!

Pollinators adore these foamy blooms as do hummingbirds! You’ll love seeing these flowers show off in the shade garden and your bouquets indoors! As autumn approaches, the blooms turn to shades of brown that look wonderful in winter snowscapes. Growing about 2 feet in height and width, Fanal is wonderfully cold-hardy!

Hardy throughout USDA planting zones 3 to 8, Astilbe are deer resistant and even rabbits leave them alone unless desperate. Flowering all summer, you’ll love these cold-hardy and heat-resistant plants in your landscape!

Landscape Application:

The lacy foliage mounds look great all on their own before the flowers arrive in the summer! Adding lacy edging and showy front of the garden filler! Add pops of hot pinkish-red flowers in groupings throughout shaded woodland borders and pollinator gardens beneath a large tree canopy. Perfect for cottage gardens and the outskirts of Rain Gardens!

Plant it in perennial borders or shade gardens with Hostas and Ferns, mixing beautifully with Bleeding Hearts, Foam Flowers and Leopard Plants! They of course look great with other Astilbe! Both in the ground and in planters, Astilble shows off in your shaded gardens, patios, and planters.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Fanal is most successfully grown in a shady and partly shaded area but can tolerate some morning sun. A moist, well-drained area is a key factor for growing a healthy plant. Do not allow Astilbe to dry out and topdress with a 3-4 inch deep layer of mulch to help hold in moisture. In order to keep Astilbe looking good for the next year, do not cut it back in the winter, (the old foliage helps protect the plant from winter damage), but prune back in early spring.
