Astrantia major 'Alba' - 2010

This is striking does it last long Andrew?

I love these and that's a great photo of it :-)))

This lasts several weeks and sometimes has a few flowers again later in the summer. But you need to deadhead it when the flowers finish or you'll get a lot of seedlings. I cut it down just as the last flowers are going over

Thanks A

Thats stunning, very unusual

I love astrantias, mine aren't flowering just yet

that really is stunning

Wonderful how unusual is this a shrub?

Sixpence - no, this is a perennial. It needs a moist soil but will take sun or part shade. Reaches two to three feet in height. There are also varieties with pink and deep red flowers

Thank You Andrew for the reply and advise which I shall take on board, gone to my favourites.

Love the pic, have lots of these plants some do better than others.......
