Masterwort

Astrantia major 'Star of Magic' PP026893

Clumps of variegated foliage support many maroon star flowers.

Masterwort is a real workhorse in the garden, flowering for a good part of the summer. It features branching umbels of pincushion flowers. This midsized selection has white centres surrounded by white bracts with green tips. 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. USPP#20352: unlicensed propagation prohibited.
