Astilbe × arendsii 'Etna' - 2026

Astilbe × arendsii 'Etna' is a vigorous perennial admired for its striking plumes of vibrant pink flowers that rise above dark green, finely divided foliage in midsummer. Its feathery flower spikes create a bold, textured display that adds vertical interest and colour to shaded borders, woodland gardens, or near ponds. The long-lasting blooms, combined with the ornamental foliage, make it a standout choice for group plantings or mixed perennial beds.

Thriving in humus-rich, consistently moist soil, it prefers partial to full shade and performs best when watered during dry periods. Low-maintenance and reliable, 'Etna' requires cutting back spent stems after flowering and occasional mulching to maintain soil moisture. Its nectar-rich flowers attract pollinators, providing both aesthetic appeal and ecological benefits in shaded garden spaces.
