Comment |
Clump-forming form. Pruning Group 14. "Astrantia is a favourite with flower-arrangers, these plants will form dense clumps in rich, moisture retentive soils. Flowers up to 3cm (1”) across are held above toothed mid-green leaves. They are happy in sun or shade, but enrich the soil if at all possible before planting. Left to their own devices, they will self-seed quite happily." from R.V. Roger. Available from Coblands Nurseries Ltd , Kevock Garden Plants, Palmstead Nurseries Ltd and R,V. Roger Ltd . |
