Description:Visions in Red Astilbe features deep red buds that open to a pinkish-red in midsummer on red flower stems. These arise above bronze-green foliage and often used cut floral decor. Alternatively, they can be left on the stems to produce seed heads, serving as interest in fall and winter. Astilbes are great in the shady border, often used in large masses. They do not care for dry soils.
