This impressive astilbe can grow more than 4' tall and almost as wide. The raspberry-red buds open into big, hot pink flower plumes. Dark red stems and chocolate-maroon foliage add to the drama. Mighty Chocolate Cherry blooms in mid to late summer, long after most other astilbes. The overall effect is quite striking—it nearly glows in wooded sites, shade gardens and decorative pots. For the best results, plant in groups to add light and texture to the area. Mojito Astilbe performs best in moist, well-drained soil.

Culture

Easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils in part shade to full shade. Prefers moist, humusy, organically rich soils. Soils must not be allowed to dry out. If regularly watered, foliage will usually remain attractive throughout the growing season. A summer compost mulch helps retain soil moisture. Removing faded flower stalks will not prolong bloom but may improve plant appearance, particularly if a ground cover look is desired. On the other hand, many gardeners leave the flower stalks in place after bloom because of the continuing ornamental interest of the dried seed heads. Divide clumps when overcrowding occurs (every 3-4 years).

Garden Uses

Mass or group in shade gardens, woodland gardens and shaded areas of border fronts and cottage gardens. Also effective on pond or stream banks. Foundations.
