Plant description
Astilbe 'Dark Side of the Moon' stands out with its striking dark chocolate-purple foliage, complemented by mauve buds that open into dense, rosy-purple flowers on dark red stems.
This hardy perennial thrives in damp soil, making it an excellent choice for cool, shady areas or near water. With its vigorous growth, 'Dark Side of the Moon' quickly forms a dense, well-branched mound, perfect for borders, containers, and mass plantings.
This unusual false goatsbeard pairs beautifully with bright blooms like begonias or zingy green grasses, creating a vibrant summer display that's also pollinator-friendly.
