2026 Perennial of the Year!
‘Dark Side of the Moon’ is a dramatic, dark-leaved Astilbe with vivid purple blooms. New foliage emerges yellow with a dark, glossy margin before maturing to a rich, uniform deep color.

This variety performs best—and blooms most heavily—in full sun with consistent moisture in northern climates, but it also grows well in shade.

- Hardy in zones 4-9, be sure to check your USDA zone to ensure success
- Plant in filtered sun or part shade (4-6 hours daily)
- Space plants 24-28 inches apart for best results
- Produces purple flowers spring through summer
- Maintains black foliage spring to frost
- Great for borders, containers, cut flowers, dried flowers, mass plantings
- Attracts bees, resists deer and rabbits

Care: Fertilize with Proven Winners Continuous Release Plant Food in spring before flowering starts. Wait to cut back the old foliage until spring; it will help protect the plant from winter damage.
