Astrantia major

A large-flowered form with the individual heads bigger than a 50p piece (more officially the ‘petals’ surrounding the flower are not flowers, just bracts). Green and white with pinkish highlights. Supplied from divisions.

Planting Instructions

Ideal for a well prepared moisture retentive soil, these will thrive in a woodland garden, on a stream bank or in a moist border, where they will produce mounds of soft-lobed foliage with taller flower stems. For full sun or partial shade and best planted about 12-18"(30-45cm) apart. Cut back by 2/3 after first flowering, and feed to ensure a second flush of flowers later in the year. Water well on planting and in very dry periods in the first year.
