Astilbe thunbergii 'Betsy Cuperus' - 2026

Astilbe thunbergii 'Betsy Cuperus' is a graceful perennial featuring creamy-white, plume-like flower heads that rise above elegant, deep green foliage. Blooming in early to mid-summer, its airy, upright flowers provide a soft vertical accent in shaded borders, woodland gardens, or alongside water features. The subtle white blooms offer a delicate contrast against darker foliage, adding texture, brightness, and visual interest to shaded garden areas.

Thriving in moist, humus-rich soils, Astilbe thunbergii 'Betsy Cuperus' prefers partial to full shade and performs best when soil is consistently damp. Low-maintenance and easy to grow, it benefits from mulching to conserve moisture and cutting back old stems after flowering. Its nectar-rich flowers attract bees and other pollinators, enhancing both ornamental beauty and ecological value in shaded plantings.
