Astrantia major 'Pink Sensation'

Astrantias are superb perennials for growing under trees, on a stream bank or in a moist border. They prefer moist soils but will tolerate drier conditions as long as the plants are mulched. Astrantia major 'Pink Sensation' bears huge pink flowers tinged with green, and large foliage. It's ideal for growing in containers and makes a beautiful cut flower.

After flowering, plants can be rejuvenated by cutting them back near to the ground – fresh new foliage and a late crop of flowers appear soon after. Astrantias don't spread far but are well known for self-seeding.
