Astilbe Cappuccino

Astilbe 'Cappuccino' is a striking perennial that adds elegance to shaded garden areas with its distinctive dark bronze foliage and creamy white flower plumes. This variety is known for its compact, clump-forming habit and attractive, fern-like leaves that emerge in spring with a deep bronze hue, transitioning to dark green after flowering. The plant produces dense, feathery plumes of white flowers held on reddish-purple stems, creating a stunning contrast against the dark foliage.

'Cappuccino' Astilbe prefers moist, well-drained, humus-rich soils and benefits from regular watering, especially during dry periods. It's an excellent choice for woodland gardens, shaded borders, or as a focal point in container plantings. Additionally, its deer-resistant nature makes it a low-maintenance option for gardeners seeking both beauty and resilience in their plant selections.
