Masterwort
Astrantia Major
Charming, branched heads of stunning, silvery-white flowers with pincushion-like centres that are attractively flushed with bright violet at the base. These are produced from July to August and are accompanied by stiff ruffs of greenish-white, ray-like bracts which resemble the petals of a daisy. It has deeply cut, serrated, fresh mid-green leaves and makes a great choice for incorporating into a cottage garden setting or woodland edge in dappled shade. Combining well with climbing roses and escallonia varieties, it can also be used as groundcover when planted in groups and makes excellent cut flowers for fresh or dried arrangements.

Garden Care:
Old flowering stems and foliage should be cut out when the plant starts to die back in November. Please Note: Although all our perennials are advertised as being sold in 1 litre containers, they are sometimes stocked in 9cm pots instead (particularly during the winter). If you order perennials from us, we reserve the right to supply them in 9cm pots instead of 1 litre containers, at a price of £2.80 instead of £3.80. Between November and March many perennials go ‘dormant’ which, in some cases, means they are sold as a root, corm or bulb with no top growth. If you order perennials whilst they are dormant, they may not be visible above the soil level when purchased but will burst into life in the spring.
