Description
The collection consists of:
- x 1 Astrantia Pink Pride, with lively flowers in a soft pinkshade.
- x 1 Astrantia Pink Sensation, with large umbels, up to 5 cm (2in), of very pale pink flowers surrounded by pearly white bracts with pink reflections and green tips.
- x 1 Astrantia Roma, lovely like a heart with its dark pink flower umbels, surrounded by lighter bracts in a fresh pink.
These perennial plants are derived from Astrantia major, a robust alpine species in the Apiaceae family (formerly known as Umbelliferae). From spring onwards, they form a clump of large palmate leaves with prominent veins, measuring 40 cm (16in) in all directions, from which tall, rigid stems of 60 cm (24in) in height emerge carrying the flowers. The flowering renews from June to September. Each inflorescence, in an umbel 3 to 5 cm (1 to 2in) wide depending on the varieties, is composed of dozens of small flowers surrounded by a collar-like involucre of large shiny bracts.
Easy to grow in ordinary, damp and not too compact soil, Astrantia major thrives in a sunny or semi-shady position, even full shade in warm climates. Simple and elegant, astrantia adds a touch of natural beauty and refinement to the garden. This plant is very popular in contemporary arrangements, requires little maintenance and thrives even in neglected gardens.

Planting and care
Astrantia major grows in ordinary, moist and not too compact soil, in sunny, semi-shady or even shady positions in warm climates. It requires little maintenance. Cut back the unsightly foliage before winter and remove faded flowers to promote a new flowering. It easily self-seeds. Its only known enemies are slugs and snails.
Astrantia can be planted in spring or autumn, at a rate of 5 plants/m2. To plant your young plant, work the soil to a depth of 20 cm (8in), crumble the soil well and add a base amendment such as dried blood or dehydrated horn at the bottom of the planting hole. Position your plant, removed from its pot, covering the top of the root ball with 3 cm (1in) of soil, fill in and water generously to eliminate air pockets. In dry weather, regular watering for a few weeks is necessary to facilitate root growth. In humid weather, slugs, which young plants fear, should be kept away, using wood ash, slug pellets or by making traps with beer.

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.
