Astrantia (Great Masterwort) Major “Rosea”

Astrantia, “Rosea” is a charming cottage garden flower. Beloved by butterflies. Unusual delicate star-like blooms that can be used as a fresh cut flower. The flowers are dense 2-3″ diameter domes of tiny florets, backed by stiff, petal-like bracts, usually referred to as a ‘collar’, all held above the foliage on wiry stems. Interesting, complex, long-lasting flowers, prized by flower arrangers but also perfectly at home in the cottage garden.

The dark green, lobed leaves form an attractive mound. Exotic and yet very easy to grow. A fabulous bloomer. Very effective when in mass. The optimum site for Astrantia would be partial shade with a well-drained soil. Looks nice in an English garden setting as a border plant.

Planting/Care Instructions +

Planting Instructions: Dig a hole large enough to encompass the roots without bending or circling. Set the plant in place so the crown (part of the plant where the root meets the stem) is about 1-2 inches below the soil surface. Cover with soil to the original soil surface and water thoroughly. Best grown in organically rich, medium wet to wet, well-drained soils in part shade. Soils must be kept uniformly moist and not allowed to dry out. Best performance occurs in cool summer climates where night temperatures consistently dip below 70 degrees F. In optimum growing conditions, plants may spread to form large clumps.

Pests or Diseases: They do not readily succumb to any pests in a major way, so they are sure to reward you with a pleasing display.
