Astrantia major
Astrantia major is an erect, clump-forming perennial with flower stems to 60cm, bearing white pin cushion style flowers... officially described as 'Clusters of tiny, whitish-green flowers are surrounded by petal-like bracteoles which are whitish, tinged with green and pink, with conspicuous veining'. I love all astrantias, they look great in the garden and in a vase. Astrantia major is good, hardy herbaceous perennial that is so easy to look after and will bring a lot of flowers to your garden.
