Astrantia Major 'Primadonna'

One of the best performing and pretty Astrantias we have seen. Tall branching sprays of light to deep red-mauve flowers, each with a ruff of reddish purple bracts appear from May to the end of September. Said to deter slugs, they thrive in heavy clay and almost anywhere the soil stays reliably moist but not waterlogged, so position in a humid, sunny or shady position in a border or near shrubbery. Excellent cut flowers..
