    Astilbe 'Finale': A Shade Perennial That Ends the Season with a Flourish

    Discover the grand finale of your garden's summer color with Astilbe 'Finale', a must-have for any shade garden enthusiast. This exceptional variety stands out as a premier choice among shade perennials, offering a striking display when many others have finished their show.

    'Finale' is renowned for its late blooming period, casting a burst of soft pink hues across your garden from its fluffy, plume-like flower clusters. Reaching a modest height of 12 to 18 inches, these captivating spires bloom from early to midsummer, ensuring your garden transitions seamlessly from spring to summer with continuous color. The ornamental value of 'Finale' doesn't end with its blooms; the seed heads that follow offer extended interest well into the season.

    As a groundcover plant, Astilbe 'Finale' is unparalleled. This low-growing, compact perennial reaches only 4 to 6 inches in height but spreads gracefully, forming lush, fern-like mounds of finely cut, lacy foliage. It's an ideal choice for filling those shady spots in your garden with vibrant green textures.

    For optimal growth, Astilbe 'Finale' thrives in uniformly moist, humusy, and organically rich soils. Well-drained yet moist soil plants like 'Finale' demonstrate a better drought tolerance than many astilbes, though they should never be completely dried out. Hardy to Zone 4, this variety is a robust choice, resistant to heavy shade, black walnut, rabbits, and deer.

    Utilize Astilbe 'Finale' in a variety of garden settings for maximum impact. From mass plantings to borders, and especially in shade gardens or rain gardens, this perennial adds a unique charm and extends the beauty of your summer color palette.

    Remember, the genus name Astilbe is derived from Greek, highlighting the understated elegance of its foliage, while its specific epithet pays homage to its Chinese origins, adding a touch of international allure to your garden.

    Explore Astilbe 'Finale' at Wayside Gardens today and let this shade perennial transform your garden into a season-long spectacle of color and texture.
