I purchased a few days ago an Astilbe japonica 'Europa'. Is it another name for the same plant?

Neutral TMORTON On Apr 21, 2005, TMORTON from Charleston, SC (Zone 8b) wrote:

Deciduous perennial with dense, finely divided, bright green foliage. In spring pale pink clusters of large feathery panicles are produced.
Exceptional planted in groupings, borders, or woodland.

Planting tips:
Dig width of hole 3 times diameter of root ball.
Dig hole no deeper than height of root ball.
Tamp lightly to remove air pockets.
Fertilize spring and fall. Mulch and build water basin. Keep moist.
