Astrantia m. Ruby Wedding

(Masterwort)
Astrantia is highly regarded by floral designers for the unique umbels of starry flowers, a bit like a refined Queen-Anne’s-Lace in effect, but not at all weedy in habit.  ‘Ruby Wedding’ flowers are dark red with a touch of white at the base. Astrantia is known for its exceptionally long bloom time. Astrantias thrive in average to moist, humus-rich or clay soil. If planted in sandy soil or full sun, be sure to water often. Easily divided in early spring. Remove faded flowers to encourage more buds, also to prevent plants from self seeding all over.  Zone 4
