Masterworts (Astrantia)

Astrantia is a charming herbaceous perennial known for its unique, star-like flowerheads that resemble delicate pincushions. These blooms, appearing in shades of white, pink, and deep red, are surrounded by papery bracts and held aloft on wiry stems. The plant forms attractive mounds of deeply lobed, palmate foliage that remains lush throughout the season. Ideal for woodland edges or cottage gardens, it thrives in moist, fertile soil and prefers partial shade to maintain its vibrant color. It is also a valued cut flower.
