Highly sort after Giant Masterwort .
This is a beautiful and most unusual cut flower which are long lasting in water. Perfect for the informal garden and for those who love to pick flowers.
The eyecatching flowers are an attractive deep rich wine red and green and darker foliage than other Astrantia. The flower resembles countless pins in a pin cushion amidst rich and lush deeply serrated foliage which appear in summer. Although there are variations in the depth of colour in the flowers I have contantly been culling the lighter colours to just end up with the rich coloured line.
Grows approx. 60 x 60cm in height & width. Grows in a circular clump. It likes a spot that is not too hot or dry. Can cope with quite moist soil.
A hardy plant to grow and generally the slugs and snails do not bother this beauty. Tolerates frosts. Although it is tolerant of most spots the dry places are not its happy place.
