Europa Astilbe offers soft, pale pink flower plumes that brighten shady spaces and moisture-rich areas with graceful texture and gentle color. Blooming in late spring to early summer, this award-winning perennial lifts its blossoms just above deeply cut, fern-like foliage that stays fresh throughout the growing season. Perfect for woodland borders, water’s edge plantings, or shaded foundations, Europa brings refined beauty with very little upkeep. It's also resistant to deer and rabbits, making it a reliable performer in a wide range of garden settings.
Glowing color in low light: Few perennials handle shady sites with such elegance. Europa’s pale pink plumes offer subtle brightness where sun-loving blooms struggle—especially effective in groups where their airy texture can soften darker backdrops.
Early bloom with multi-season interest: As one of the earliest astilbe varieties to flower, Europa helps bridge the gap between spring bulbs and high-summer color. After blooming, the dried panicles hold their shape, extending visual interest into fall and winter.
Lush foliage with reliable form: Even when not in bloom, the vibrant green, fern-like foliage creates a clean, structured look that enhances companion plantings. Its compact, clumping habit stays tidy, making it a smart fit for edging or layered shade gardens.
Performs where others won’t: Astilbe thrives in moist, shaded areas where many other perennials struggle. Europa is especially useful near ponds, streams, or areas with consistent moisture—and it returns year after year with very little care.
Award-winning reliability: Recognized with the RHS Award of Garden Merit, Europa has earned its place in reliable shade gardens. It attracts butterflies and resists browsing animals, all while keeping a neat footprint in the landscape.
