Amber Moon Astilbe

I purchased one of these only a couple of weeks ago and I am liking the chartreuse foliage. Also the leaf edging is a little 'softer', less jagged and sharp as I see with my other astilbes. I am way past the bloom period that might have been so I am wondering if others had it in their garden much earlier this season and got to see the complete plant in action.

Interesting; I wonder how long it maintains its chartreuse foliage? I'm a real sucker for that colour that lights up the shade. There is an Astilbe "Colour Flash " that comes in burgundy and lime varieties that I have been considering. I also love burgundy foliage.
