The flowers are much bigger on this one aren't they Motinot, it is hard to grow them from seed I've tried a few times too with no success, think I did see a seedling the other day though ,I'll check later and if I can get in out in one piece I'll pot it on for you :-))

I dont know much about Astrantias - how big are they?

Would say this ones around 2ft foot tall, the flowers are much bigger than the other 2 I have, it does well in sun or part shade Dawn, I bought a lovely burgundy coloured one a few weeks ago 'Gill Richardson', thats the one Rob just flattened with the tree,lol, hopefully it'll recover.

Oh darn, naughty Rob, hope it bounces back, as if the wind and rain werent doing enough damage already, ha ha. Thanks for explaining them about them.
