Purple Candles Astilbe Dracaena especially during the first season

especially during the first season and during peak summer heat

which makes these cultivars much better behaved than older seed-producing butterfly bushes

The blooms read bold from the curb and feel soft and romantic up close

Purple Candles Astilbe Dracaena especially during the first seasonBold Violet Purple Plumes for Shade. Purple Candles Astilbe is a striking shade perennial grown for its tall, upright flower plumes in rich violet red to magenta purple tones. The dense, candle like blooms rise above the foliage in summer, adding height, texture, and strong color to shaded beds. This makes it especially useful where gardeners want more than green foliage in woodland gardens, shaded borders, and partially shaded foundation plantings.
