Astilbe chinensis 'Visions in Red'
Choose Visions in Red Chinese Astilbe for shady beds where you can keep soil from drying out; it gives strong red-purple bloom color, but it is not the plant for hot, dry foundation spots.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B+ | The red-purple plumes stand out well in shade without overpowering nearby hosta, ferns, or coral bells. |
| Growth Rate | A- | It fills in quickly for a perennial when planted in the right moisture and light. |
| Maintenance | B | It is straightforward to grow, but dry spells mean watering if you want clean foliage and strong bloom. |
| Deer Resistance | B+ | Deer tend to leave this alone, though hungry deer may sample it where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | A | Its tidy clumping habit works well along walks, patios, and smaller shade beds. |
At PGNE, we would typically recommend this for shaded beds that get regular watering or naturally hold moisture, especially where deer pressure makes hosta and daylilies harder to rely on.

They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
These look so good! They're nice and full and lush. Should be amazing next summer.
So far so good! Ordering was easy. So was pickup. We're looking forward to seeing how it does in the spring.
Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
