Astrantia major ‘Florence’

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 upright selection has soft lavender-pink pincushion flowers surrounded by bracts of the same tone. It blooms for weeks on end. An 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. Remove faded flowers to encourage more buds, also to prevent plants from self seeding all over. Introduced by Future Plants of the Netherlands. USPP#18478: unlicensed propagation prohibited.
