Astrantia Major 'Claret'

It is a beautiful colour it will get going they take time some of them.

I've still got to get this one

I put this one in last year Karen and it hasn't grown very much in size, but as you say, it may take a while. I have very sandy soil so retaining adequate moisture is my biggest problem.

Ah yes, well this is in a moist spot, so not that problem. I suppose you have to add a lot of mulch Muddy? I found that a couple of tons of spent mushroom compost worked wonders on my borders!

Oh yes! 24 bags of well rotted horse manure in my garage as we speak - car relegated to the driveway. Got to get your priorities right eh? :-))

lol! :)) that's right Muddy!

Another of your 3D shots. Leaps out of the screen!

Thanks paul!

I love the colour of this one Karen, they do take a while to get going...I have 'maxima' and this year i had to chop it up quite a bit...but they are great plants....

yes, once they get their roots in, they are fabulous!
