Astrantia major 'Rubra'
£5.50Price
Astrantia major 'Rubra' is an erect, clump-forming herbaceous perennial with tall slender flower stems to 60cm rising above dark green deeply divided leaves. The flowers are like little plum coloured pin cushions surrounded by red bracts. Flowers from early summer and will keep going if dead headed. I love using it in flower arrangements. And loved by bees to, so it has been awarded the RHS Plants for Pollinators award.
