Astrantia major
Great Masterwort |
USDA Zone: 3-9 |
Plant number: 1.088.150
Masterwort is highly regarded by floral designers for the unique umbels of starry flowers, a bit like a refined Queen-Anne’s-Lace in effect, but not at all weedy in habit. This species is quite variable, with flowers from white through to pink, to green or ruby red, surrounded by green bracts. Excellent filler plant for a moist area in sun or part shade. Also nice in mixed containers or tubs. Flowers may be cut fresh, or dried for winter arrangements. Easily divided in early spring. Remove faded flowers to encourage more buds, also to prevent plants from self seeding all over.
