Zoia, your lovely Astilbe.... Lovey dubby .
This is my second year growing Astilbe in my yard. Now as fall approaches some of them turn their leaves orange-golden, others simply shrivel dry. By any chance, is your purple a named variety?. This past season I was able to get a few roots from my bulb provider and one of them is a tad towards purple although I would say red. My first ones are white. All of them just lovely. Thank You! for posting them as a banner!

I'm afraid it was purchased at a local garden center and I don't remember the name on the pot! It could still be in my garage and I will check to see if I have it.
