Description

Astilbe arendsii 'Fanal' (or False Goat's Beard) will give shady areas in your garden a completely different texture and appearance with its half a metre (20 inch) long feathery blooms. These shoot up above a bed of foliage which starts off a deep mahogany red in spring before changing to green in summer. Astilbe arendsii 'Fanal's multiple florets which make up these feathery spikes are a deep, almost garnet red so they stand out strongly against their own and other foliage around them.

Gracy knows
"Astilbe arendsii 'Fanal' has fragrant flowers and foliage, and will serve you well as a container or border plant, while both its flower spikes and its foliage make welcome additions to cut flower arrangements. Even the dried flowers and seed heads have their own attraction."
