Purple Candles Astilbe Ornamental Tree and the plant takes onBold Violet Purple Plumes for Shade. Purple Candles Astilbe is a striking shade perennial grown for its tall, upright flower plumes in rich violet red to magenta purple tones. The dense, candle like blooms rise above the foliage in summer, adding height, texture, and strong color to shaded beds. This makes it especially useful where gardeners want more than green foliage in woodland gardens, shaded borders, and partially shaded foundation plantings.
