Astrantia carniolica ‘Rubra’
Dwarf Red Masterwort |
USDA Zone: 4-9 |
Plant number: 1.088.100
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 compact selection, with rich maroon-red flowers, 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.
