Understanding Plant Options
Nature Hills offers plants in two main formats:
- Container Plants: Grown in pots with soil, sized by container volume and plant age
- Bare Root Plants: Dormant plants without soil, sized by height measurements
Container Plant Sizes
Container sizes indicate plant age and growing capacity rather than liquid volume equivalents. Our containers follow industry-standard nursery "trade gallon" specifications, which differ from standard liquid gallon measurements.

Important Notes

- Age Indicators: Container size primarily indicates plant age and maturity rather than liquid volume equivalents
Growing Conditions
- Plant size can vary based on variety and growing conditions
- Container size helps indicate plant maturity and establishment level
- Larger containers generally mean more established root systems and faster landscape establishment
Seasonal Availability
- Bare root plants are available seasonally when dormant
- Container plants are available throughout the growing season
- Specific varieties may have limited availability in certain sizes

Planting & Care Instructions
Growing Zones 3-8
The garnet-red Fanal Astilbe (Astilbe x arendsii 'Fanal') is a colorful feathery bloomer, with new foliage appearing mahogany before aging into a lacy deep green/bronze-green for the summer! The crinkled leaves form textured mounds that stand out beautifully!
Pollinators adore these foamy blooms as do hummingbirds! You'll love seeing these flowers show off in the shade garden and your bouquets indoors! As autumn approaches, the blooms turn to shades of brown that look wonderful in winter snowscapes. Growing about 2 feet in height and width, Fanal is wonderfully cold-hardy!
Hardy throughout USDA planting zones 3 to 8, Astilbe are deer resistant and even rabbits leave them alone unless desperate. Flowering all summer, you'll love these cold-hardy and heat-resistant plants in your landscape!
Landscape Application:
The lacy foliage mounds look great all on their own before the flowers arrive in the summer! Adding lacy edging and showy front of the garden filler! Add pops of hot pinkish-red flowers in groupings throughout shaded woodland borders and pollinator gardens beneath a large tree canopy. Perfect for cottage gardens and the outskirts of Rain Gardens!
Plant it in perennial borders or shade gardens with Hostas and Ferns, mixing beautifully with Bleeding Hearts, Foam Flowers and Leopard Plants! They of course look great with other Astilbe! Both in the ground and in planters, Astilble shows off in your shaded gardens, patios, and planters.
- Pinkish- Garnet-Red Plume-Like Flowers
- Colorful Blue-Green With Bronze-Green Overtones
- Low-Growing Mounded Clumps of Crinkled Fine-Cut Leaves
- Blooms Mid Summer For Pollinators & Hummingbirds
- Containers, Great Border & Edging Plants, Groupings & Massing
#ProPlantTips for Care:
Fanal is most successfully grown in a shady and partly shaded area but can tolerate some morning sun. A moist, well-drained area is a key factor for growing a healthy plant. Do not allow Astilbe to dry out and topdress with a 3-4 inch deep layer of mulch to help hold in moisture. In order to keep Astilbe looking good for the next year, do not cut it back in the winter, (the old foliage helps protect the plant from winter damage), but prune back in early spring.
- Full Shade In Hot Climates, Part Shade Everywhere
- Must Have Well-Drained Soil But Tolerates Clay
- Prefers Regular Moisture Access To Higher Moisture
- Prune These Herbaceous Perennials In Early Spring
- Deer & Rabbit Resistant
Showy garden jewels, the garnet-hued Fanal Astilbe is hardy, resistant, tough, and pest-free! Order your own today at NatureHills.com and enjoy these gorgeous perennials!
