Dark Side of the Moon

False Spirea
Astilbe ‘Dark Side of the Moon’
XASTIDAR
This is the only dark-leafed astilbe with purple flowers on the market today. Chocolate brown leaves form a mound of foliage with raspberry buds that open to rosy purple flowers. Blooms in late summer but the foliage is perfect for borders planting and patio containers.
