Description
A lesser known member of the Astrantia family, but a firm favourite with us. Lovely pink bracts with a green reverse side surround a central mass of tiny flowers. Best in a bit of shade. Likes a heavy or fertile soil best, but grows fine in our light soil too. Up to 60cm. Bare root plants available to pre-order for delivery Feb 2026.
