Add the charm and appeal of the beautiful Astrantia ‘Major’ with striking pin-cushion-like flower heads and starry petal formation. Also known as ‘Greater Masterwort’, this upright and clump forming perennial is available as a single bulb and is a great choice for adding movement and intricate detail to admire throughout the summer.
With less flamboyant flowers than other summer blooms, it adds timeless appeal and elegance that perfectly punctuates a mixed display. Astrantia also looks wonderful planted in pots and containers to add soft hues and delicate beauty to seating areas, entrances and much more. Growing an abundance of flowers, there will be more than enough to enjoy in fresh cut and dried floral arrangements around the home as well.
In addition to its wonderful flowers, this perennial is a gardeners’ friend, attracting bees and other pollinators into your garden. This has been recognised by its inclusion in the Royal Horticultural Society Plants for Pollinators Collection. Astrantia is also thought to help deter slugs, making them an excellent companion to Hostas and other leafy plants.
