‘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. Dark stems support raspberry-colored buds that open into rosy-purple flowers. This variety performs best—and blooms most heavily—in full sun with consistent moisture in northern climates, but it also grows well in shade.
