Description:
Astrantia are a bit of a must have in a cottage style garden. They're a really hardworking, low hassle plant that flower for a long period of time. They survive in partial shade and look brilliant mixed in with other plants around ponds. They attract wildlife and make a brilliant cut flower.
Care:
They are clump forming so can be easily divided. They will flower for longer if deadheaded- pretty easy going plant!
