Astilbe arendsii 'Cappuccino' PBR

Astilbe arendsii 'Cappuccino' PBR is a particularly decorative perennial with a stylish and striking color combination. The elegant white flower plumes appear on contrasting dark red flower stalks and stand out beautifully against the very dark foliage. This makes 'Cappuccino' a real eye-catcher for borders, shady gardens, and planters.

One of the most characteristic features of Astilbe 'Cappuccino' PBR is its distinctive foliage color. The finely incised leaves appear in a deep, dark bronze hue, which gives the plant considerable ornamental value even before flowering. The red stems enhance this warm color scheme. When the white, airy flower spikes open, a beautiful contrast between light and dark emerges. After the flowering period, the dark bronze foliage gradually changes to dark green, ensuring the plant remains attractive later in the season.

Striking contrast in border and pot

Astilbe arendsii 'Cappuccino' PBR combines excellently with other perennials. The dark foliage, for example, forms a beautiful contrast with fresh green or yellow-green foliage plants. The white bloom also comes into its own beautifully next to other Astilbe varieties with pink, red, or purple flowers.

Preferably plant 'Cappuccino' in a location with partial shade and in nutritious, humus-rich soil that retains sufficient moisture. Astilbes do not like prolonged drying out, so regular watering during warm periods is important. This variety can also create a particularly decorative effect in a spacious pot or container.

With its combination of white flowers, red stems, and dark bronze foliage, Astilbe arendsii 'Cappuccino' PBR offers an attractive play of colors for a large part of the gardening season.
