I don't know if it's normal, but none of the three masterworts have come up yet. The Japanese anemones have come up nicely though.

Astrantia major 'Cerise Button' is a recent variety of masterwort with a beautifully coloured and long-lasting flowering. Its flowers in shades of raspberry pink to cherry red resemble those of Astrantia Washfield, but these flowers are much more vigorous and floriferous. The vibrant colours give the flowers the appearance of jewellery set with gemstones. Astrantia major is a perennial accustomed to cottage gardens, it is a native plant that thrives in slightly neglected, shady and cool places. It is also a good flower for dry or fresh bouquets.
Astrantia major, native to central and eastern Europe, belongs to the Apiaceae family (formerly Umbellifers), it is a distant relative of the carrot. This plant is the origin of many cultivars and hybrids, including the 'Cerise Button' variety, selected by Marco Van Noort in the Netherlands. In this variety, the bushy and dense habit displays elegant and abundant flowers. The plant forms a clump 60-65 cm (24-26in) high when in flower, 45-50 cm (18-20in) for the foliage, and 45 cm (18in) wide. The foliage is composed of deciduous, palmate leaves with 5 deep lobes, lanceolate, toothed, green and strongly veined. The umbel flowers appear from June to August-September, at the end of very stiff stems. They are composed of dozens of tiny flowers in a deep raspberry pink, surrounded by large pearly bracts with cherry red reflections.
Astrantia major 'Cerise Button' grows in humus-rich, moist and well-drained soil, in sunny but not scorching or semi-shaded, even shady in warm climates. This plant, very popular in contemporary gardens, requires little maintenance, thriving even where the garden is not well-maintained. It blends beautifully with the pastel colours of foxgloves, columbines, lungworts... Combine it with perennials and roses in any style of garden: modern, natural or romantic.
Tips: Combine several varieties to create a beautiful colour palette.

Botanical data
Astrantia major Cerise Button grows in humus-rich, well-drained but not dry soil, in sunny, partially shaded or even shady positions in warm climates. It requires little maintenance. Prune the unsightly foliage before winter and remove faded flowers to promote a new flowering. It self-seeds very easily. Its only known enemies are slugs and snails.
To plant your young plant, prepare your soil to a depth of 20 cm (8in) by breaking up the soil well and adding fertiliser such as bone meal. Position your plant, removed from its pot, by covering the top of the root ball with 3 cm (1in) of soil. Fill in the hole, tamp down, and water thoroughly to eliminate any air pockets. During dry weather, water regularly for a few weeks to facilitate root establishment. During wet weather, it is necessary to protect the young plants from slugs by using wood ash, slug repellent, 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).
