Description
Enhance the beauty of your shaded garden with Astilbe 'Chocolate Shogun'. This exceptional perennial is a stunning choice for adding depth and drama to cooler, shaded areas, with its unique deep chocolate-coloured foliage and soft, airy plumes of pale pink flowers. The contrast between the dark leaves and delicate blooms creates an eye-catching display that will stand out in any garden.
Reaching approximately 60 cm (2 feet) in height and spreading to around 45 cm (1.5 feet), Chocolate Shogun is the perfect plant for adding texture and rich colour where other plants may struggle. Its elegant flower plumes appear in mid to late summer, providing long-lasting blooms that attract bees and butterflies, supporting pollinators and adding to the ecological value of your outdoor space.
Ideal for borders, woodland gardens, and shaded beds, Astilbe Chocolate Shogun thrives in moist, well-drained soil and performs best in partial to full shade. Supplied as bare root plants, this perennial establishes quickly with minimal care, making it an easy choice for gardeners seeking reliable, low-maintenance beauty. It pairs beautifully with hostas, ferns, and other shade-loving perennials to create layered, visually stunning planting schemes.
