'Fanal' adds some color to the shaded landscape with red foliage in the spring that transistions to green for the summer months and that's just the foliage. The deep red flowers top the lacy green foliage in the hot summer months. A great selection for the shaded garden especially useful in woodland areas or where deer brouws is a concern since deer and rabbits tend to leave Astilbe's alone. Thrives even in the darkest shade.
