Bronze Foliage and the Darkest Red Flowers of the Astilbes!
Fanal Astilbe Plant
'Fanal' is a long-time Wayside Gardens favorite!
Rich garnet-red spikes are lightly dusted with white and reach at least a foot long!
This long-time Wayside favorite boasts delightfully decorative bronze foliage and flowers that are the darkest red of the Astilbes. Reaching 2 feet tall with spikes at least a foot long of rich garnet-red lightly dusted with white, it is one of the most vividly colored Astilbes, as well as one of the longest lasting.
Excellent for the shade border, 'Fanal' produces long-lasting feathery flowerheads in summer that, if left uncut, provide winter landscape interest as well. They make splendid Everlastings for indoor arrangements, and complement the deeply cut bronze foliage.
Space plants 8 to 12 inches apart in a deep, rich, moist soil with plenty of organic matter. Water well and mulch in hot, dry weather. Zones 4-8.

Very pretty
We ordered 4 of the astilbe, and planted them all in separate spots. They are all thriving, and have already sprouted some flowers. They look healthy and are growing at a good rate.
