Shady Lovers Collection
On 2 naked plants, planted in the autumn, only one has survived and even then, it is tiny and just starting to shoot (it's late May). The same goes for the young plant: only one has survived, the other is still small for now, I'm waiting to see it develop.

Description
This collection of 4 shade-loving perennials blooms from May to September. These perennials create a soft contrast between the intense pink, almost red, of the 'Hadspen Blood' masterwort and the delicate, anise green flowering of Alchemilla mollis.
The collection is composed of:
- 2 'Hadspen Blood' masterwort
- 2 Alchemilla mollis
These perennials are very robust and can grow in full sun or partial shade in heavy and moist soil. Plant Alchemilla mollis at the edge of the flower bed, and place the 'Hadspen Blood' masterwort in the background, keeping a distance of 30cm (12in) between the plants. To maintain a romantic and wild style, mix them with catmints, perennial geraniums, meadow rues, and knotweeds.

Planting and care
In fresh soil, plant your Astrancias and your Alchemilla mollis in full sun or partial shade, avoiding excessive heat exposure (midday sun). In humus-bearing soil, these perennials self-seed and easily produce new seedlings capable of flowering within a few weeks, prolonging the flowering period for several months. To plant your pot, prepare your soil to a depth of 20cm (8in), crumble the soil well, and place a base amendment such as dried blood or dehydrated horn at the bottom of the planting hole. Position your plant, removed from its pot, and cover the top of the root ball with 3cm (1in) of soil. Fill in the hole and water thoroughly to eliminate air pockets. In dry weather, water regularly for a few weeks to facilitate root establishment. In wet weather, keep slugs away, as young plantings are susceptible to them. How? Use wood ash, anti-slug poison, or even beer! Each of these solutions is highly effective.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
