The Beauty of August Light Red Astilbe

Astilbe, often called False Goat's Beard, is renowned for its graceful, plume-like flowers that rise above lush, fern-like foliage. The August Light Red Astilbe is particularly notable for its striking red flowers, which bloom in late summer, providing a much-needed burst of color when many other plants start to fade.

'August Light' produces vibrant, deep red flowers that bloom in mid-summer, standing on tall, upright stems that rise above the attractive, lacy green foliage. The flowers form long, feathery plumes that add texture and movement to the garden. It is a rubust perennial that grows up to 1.5 to 2 feet tall and wide, making it an excellent choice for small gardens or container planting.
This astilbe prefers moist, well-drained soil and partial to partial shade, though it can tolerate some sun if it is kept consistently moist. It is a low-maintenance plant that requires regular watering during dry spells and occasional fertilization in the spring.
'August Light' is often used in shaded gardens, woodland gardens, and as a border plant, and it is also a great addition to cut flower arrangements. Other popular red cultivars of astilbe include 'Fanal' and 'Red Sentinel.'

The "August Light" Astilbe is a NON NATIVE perennial.
