Astilbe ‘Chocolate Shogun’
'Chocolate Shogun' is an Astilbe with a difference: clumps of fern-like, chocolate-coloured foliage with upright, plumes of pale pink flowers.
Astilbe ‘Chocolate Shogun’ has the darkest foliage of any on the market. The chocolate burgundy leaves emerge in spring and keep this rich colouration throughout the season. In summer it produces plume-like flower stalks covered in pink flowers. It can grow in full sun conditions as long as the soil remains moist.
