Astrantia

Masterwort

According to Smith’s Exotic Botany of 1805, “The more refined admirers of Nature” rate Astrantia among their favorite blossoms. The flowers bloom like tiny enchanting fireworks: a star burst of bracts surround the spray of small flowers and splashy groups of buds shoot out from branched stems like the finale on the Fourth of July.

If a natural look is what you’re after, plant Masterworts near a shady patio or path where you can enjoy their detail. This is an ideal flower for arrangements, fresh or dried.

Astrantia major ‘Lars’   

Slender yet sturdy, the erect stems host a bouquet of delicate domelike flowers cradled by upturned bracts in dusky cherry-pink shades. Complementing luxuriant, palmately lobed, basal foliage, the intricate blossoms offer color for months as they bloom again in the fall. A superior Scandinavian cultivar, ‘Lars’ imparts a sophisticated flair to any garden niche that’s bathed in dappled light.

Blooms June–early October.

Size: 2'–2-1/2' high x 15"–18" wide; hardy to zone 5.
