Astilbe chinensis 'Spotlight' PBR

Astilbe chinensis 'Spotlight' PBR is a distinctive new variety featuring a beautiful combination of light pink flowers and dark, glossy foliage with bronze tones. The strong, upright growth habit and long flowering period make this Astilbe a true eye-catcher. 'Spotlight' PBR not only provides color during flowering but also holds high ornamental value throughout a large part of the season thanks to its striking foliage.

The distinctive foliage is one of the most important features of this variety. The leaves have a dark bronze appearance and a striking sheen. As a result, the foliage forms a powerful contrast with the soft color of the flowers. Consequently, Astilbe 'Spotlight' PBR is already particularly decorative even before the plant begins to bloom.

Long flowering period and vigorous growth

During the flowering period, elegant light pink flower plumes appear above the dark foliage. The soft pink flowers give the plant a fresh appearance and stand out beautifully thanks to the contrasting foliage. An important advantage is the long flowering period, ensuring that 'Spotlight' PBR adds color to the garden for an extended time.

The plant has a strong and upright growth habit. The sturdy stems create a beautiful structure and present the flowers clearly above the foliage. This makes this variety excellently suited for borders, group plantings, and as a striking accent plant.

Preferably plant Astilbe chinensis 'Spotlight' PBR in partial shade and in nutritious, humus-rich, and moisture-retentive soil. Keep the soil sufficiently moist during warm and dry periods.

Combine 'Spotlight' PBR, for example, with Hosta, ferns, or Astilbes with white and dark pink flowers. This further emphasizes the striking contrast between foliage and flowers.

With its light pink flowers, long flowering period, glossy dark bronze foliage, and vigorous upright growth, Astilbe chinensis 'Spotlight' PBR is a unique and versatile perennial.
