Astilbe Japonica 'Europa', False Spirea 'Europa', False Goat's Beard 'Europa'
One of the first Astilbes to flower, Astilbe ‘Europa’ (Astilbe japonica) features luminous, dense, pyramidal shaped, soft pink flower plumes which stand out in the night garden. Quite showy, they rise gracefully in late spring – early summer above an attractive mound of fern-like deep green, glossy foliage. Long-lasting, they turn a rich caramel color which provides winter interest to the garden.
