Astilbe japonica – Red Sentinel
A captivating Japanese astilbe cultivar showcasing vivid scarlet‑red, feathery flower plumes atop glossy, deep‑green foliage and rich mahogany‑red stems. In early to mid‑summer, it sends up tall, dense inflorescences (20–30 cm long) that brighten shady borders, containers, and woodland gardens. Compact yet robust, it typically grows 55–60 cm tall (flowering height up to ~75 cm) with a spread of 45–60 cm, making it perfect for mass plantings or striking focal points. It thrives in moist, nutrient-rich soil with partial to full shade, tolerates cool sun if well‑watered, and is deer- and rabbit-resistant—plus it attracts pollinators and works beautifully in fresh or dried arrangements.
