Astilbe arendsii 'Fanal'

Astilbe arendsii 'Fanal' is a vigorous and beloved perennial that stands out with its intensely dark red flower plumes and attractive dark green to bronze-colored foliage. The deep flower color forms a beautiful contrast with the dark foliage, making 'Fanal' a true eye-catcher. Thanks to its strong presence and versatile uses, this Astilbe is also an excellent plant for landscape plantings.

During the flowering period, the full, graceful flower spikes appear clearly above the foliage. The flowers have a rich, dark red color that adds warmth and depth to the planting. The finely divided foliage is dark green with bronze tones, giving Astilbe 'Fanal' significant ornamental value even before the flowers appear.

Excellent for borders and landscape planting

Astilbe 'Fanal' is highly suitable for larger borders and mass plantings. When multiple plants are planted in groups, an impressive expanse of dark red flower plumes is created. This makes 'Fanal' an excellent choice for landscaping, but this variety also comes into its own beautifully in smaller gardens.

Preferably plant Astilbe arendsii 'Fanal' in a location with partial shade and in nutritious, humus-rich, and moisture-retentive soil. Ensure sufficient water, especially during warm and dry periods. Evenly moist soil helps the plant to develop optimally and bloom profusely.

Combine 'Fanal' with white or light pink Astilbes, for example, for a striking contrast. The dark flowers and bronze-green foliage also look excellent next to Hosta, ferns, and other shade-loving perennials.

With its dark red flowers, dark green-bronze foliage, and powerful presence, Astilbe arendsii 'Fanal' is a versatile perennial for both private gardens and professional landscape plantings.
