'Amber Moon' florist's spiraea (Astilbe 'Amber Moon') is a perennial for shade borders, woodland gardens, and foliage interest. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes part sun. The new leaves emerge bright chartreuse yellow with red highlights in spring. They slowly darken to light green by late summer. Tall red stems carry rose pink flowers from early to late summer.
