Astrantia Major Sunningdale Variegated

thats nice, very nice

That's what you want a plant that acts as a focal point, very nice.

Love the variegated foliage.

Lovely, may have to look for one of these!

Now that is annoying why is yours flowering and mine is not this will be it's second year now....:*( I must go and have a word with it!!

This is the second year too DD. Yes, a good talking to is what it needs! Thanks everyone.

Lovely plant and that foliage is very unusual.

Thanks SG. I have quite a few Astrantias. This one and 'Claret' are my faves at the moment, but probably only because they are the newest ones!

I did not have much success with Astrantia which was annoying as it is a wonderful flower arranging flower. 3 years ago I bought a red one and planted it in flower from a pot. The 2nd year there was no sign of it and I thought I had lost it but last year it flowered again and it is here again this year. I will need to look for the label as I can't remember which one it is. I bought Alba last year and it is flowering its head off. It is doubly good as a floristy flower because on the instructions it says cut the flowering stem back to the ground to encourage a second flush of flowers later in the year.

|yes, that works, I've done that in the past.

Love this one

Found it, but the flowers are none too clever it is not getting enough sun......

Ah, yes, this one is in a sunny part of my garden, unlike the others!
