Herbaceous perennial (dies down completely over winter)
Height to 60cm
Spacing to plant - 45cm
A stunning astrantia from the new 'Sparkling Stars' series, with dusky pink star-like flowers from deep burgundy buds over compact green foliage. A superb variety for containers, planted with ferns or other predominantly green foliage plants. Also superb for cur flowers and for drying.
Like most astrantias this will grow virtually anywhere. To get the very best, grow in a rich, moisture retentive soil in partial shade.
Astrantia maj. 'Star of Passsion' 1 litre €6.95
