RHS AWARD OF MERIT

Better known as Masterwort, Astrantia major has been a classic cottage garden favorite. Today, it is better known as an excellent cut flower.  Roma’s blooms feature deep rose florets and light silver-pink bracts atop long stems.  Astrantia blooms from June to September. Plants are quick growing and long-lasting, however, this variety is completely sterile so you don’t have to worry about self-sowing. Roma is a patented cultivar. (PP11470).
