Astilbe 'Chocolate Shogun' (Chocolate Shogun Astilbe) has gorgeous glossy chocolate-purple foliage with a bronze tinge - a beautiful contrast to its blush pink spire blooms. An essential perennial addition for the shade garden, Chocolate Shogun False Spirea Astilbe will keep your garden colourful all season long. Growing to a height of 60 cm (2 feet), Chocolate Shogun False Spirea Astilbe can tolerate some sun, but prefers partial to full shade, which will maintain the deep colour of the foliage.
