Astrantia major 'Buckland'

Description:

Astrantia ‘Buckland’ bears fresh green leaves followed by large, green and pink pincushion flowers on wiry stems. It forms a decent clump, spreading by underground runners and, after flowering, can be cut right back to produce a second flush of foliage and flowers.Like other astrantias, it thrives in rich soil in partial shade, even in moist ground. It’s the perfect choice for cottage gardens but also works well in more contemporary planting schemes.
