Astrantia maxima
Large Masterwort |
USDA Zone: 4-9 |
Plant number: 1.088.400
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 is a very large flowered species, with white or rose-pink flowers surrounded by a pinkish-green collar. 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.
