Astilbe 'Chocolate Shogun' is known for its glossy chocolate-bronze foliage, which provides long-lasting color in shaded gardens. In mid to late summer, it produces pink-blushed flower panicles that contrast beautifully against its dark leaves. Thriving in part to full shade, it prefers organically rich, moist, well-drained soil and requires consistent watering to maintain its lush appearance. Resistant to deer and rabbits, it is a reliable choice for woodland gardens, borders, and containers. Suitable for USDA zones 4-8, it adds texture and seasonal interest to low-light landscapes.
