Fanal Astilbe

Fanal Astilbe is an excellent deer resistant perennial plant that will grow well in most shady areas of your landscape.  This Astilbe exhibits bright red flowers and green leaves.  Fanal Astilbe is one of the few plants species that flourish in shaded areas such as under a tree.  Astilbe plants thrive in wet soil areas.  Astilbe plants come in several flower and foliage color choices.  Most common Astilbe choices for zone 5 are Bridal Veil, Fanal, and Rheinland.  Astilbe flower colors may be found in white, red, pink and light purple.  If you are looking for a moderate growing and hearty shade perennial, then we suggest choosing one or more of the Astilbe varieties for your landscape.  Most all Astilbe perennials look similar in appearance except for the color variations on the leaves and flowers of the plant.

Fanal Astilbe is a mid-spring to summer bloomer.  This perennial plant can be divided every couple of years in the spring.  To increase the beauty of the plant and to encourage new growth, remove old flowers after they are done blooming.  This Astilbe makes a great accent plant because of its bright red flowers.  Having deer resistant characteristics allows this plant to be used in woodland projects.
Astilbe also makes a good border plant since it grows in clumps and does not spread by creeping.  You can plant this perennial in rows to define your landscape bed.  Since this flower can reach up to 24″ tall, consider using it as a backdrop plant.  The Astilbe plant is similar in appearance to that of a fern.
