Buy Dark Side of the Moon Astilbe online. We fell in love this extremely unique Astilbe the moment we laid eyes on it! New growth in the spring emerges as yellow to light green, and then darken to a deep chocolate to dark purple color as they mature. These stunning leaves create a beautiful medium sized, mounding perennial that is topped with pinkish-purple flowers in mid-spring. A must have plant for your shady garden!
