Astilbe 'Chocolate Shogun'
Growing to a height of about 18 to 24 inches, 'Chocolate Shogun' Astilbe features deeply lobed leaves that emerge in shades of rich chocolate-burgundy. As the foliage matures, it often takes on more green hues while retaining its striking coloration. In mid-summer, the plant produces upright spikes adorned with fluffy, feathery flower plumes in shades of pink. These flowers add a touch of elegance to gardens and landscapes. 'Chocolate Shogun' thrives in partial shade to full shade and moist, well-draining soil. Its unique foliage, attractive flowers, and tolerance for shaded conditions make it a favored choice for woodland gardens, shade borders, and adding texture to shaded areas of the landscape.
