Astrantia major 'Sparkling Stars White'

Sparkling Stars White Astrantia (Astrantia major ‘Sparkling Stars White’) is a striking Great Masterwort, prized for its star-like white blooms that appear from early summer through fall. Each “flower” is actually a delicate cluster of tiny florets encircled by bracts, creating the look of a firework frozen mid-burst. These elegant blooms rise on impressively long, sturdy stems above deeply lobed, dark green foliage, giving the plant a graceful, airy presence in the garden.

A favorite among florists, Astrantia ‘Sparkling Stars White’ produces excellent cut flowers for fresh arrangements and is equally beautiful when dried for winter displays. Beyond its beauty, this white masterwort plant works hard in the garden. The nectar-rich blooms are irresistible to bees and pollinators, providing reliable interest and activity for months. Regular deadheading will encourage continuous blooming and extend the display.

An upright, clump-forming perennial, Sparkling Stars White Astrantia thrives in full sun to partial shade and performs beautifully in consistently moist soils - even in wet areas where many other perennials fail. This white masterwort is a fantastic addition to cut flower gardens, butterfly gardens, and shade gardens, and looks especially stunning in mass plantings, borders, or along pond edges. Highly versatile and deer resistant, Astrantia 'Sparkling Stars White' delivers sophisticated blooms and lush foliage, making it a favorite of both home gardeners and professional landscapers.
