'Fanal' is noted for having perhaps the darkest red flowers of any of the astilbes and for its bronze foliage. It is a compact cultivar which typically forms a foliage mound to 9-12" tall with narrow panicles of dark crimson red flowers appearing on upright, 15-18" tall stems. Foliage emerges bronze but tends to turn dark green with a reddish tint as the summer progresses.

Astilbe
'Fanal'

Botanical Name:Astilbe 'Fanal'

Astilbes are mainstays of shade and woodland gardens. They are clump-forming perennials which feature graceful, fern-like mounds of mostly basal, 2-3 ternately compound leaves, usually with sharply-toothed leaflets, and tiny flowers densely packed into erect to arching, plume-like flower panicles rising above the foliage on slender, upright stems.
