Sparkling Stars Pink Astrantia flowers are light pink and creamy white with petal bracts opening up to reveal dozens of strawberry pink umbels.
This variety has been selected for its tall flowering stems making it well suited for cut flowers production. Astrantia dried flowers can be used for winter arrangements.
The Great Masterwort is a long bloomer. It starts producing flowers in early summer and lasts until early fall, adding colours in the garden until late in the season.
This plant is very beneficial to local pollinator species, including bees and butterflies, which can’t get enough of the big blooms. Astrantia are tolerant to wet and poorly drained soil. Spent flowers need to be removed to encourage new blooms and prevent self-seeding. All parts of this plant are poisonous if ingested.
