Astrantia 'Supernova'

Description

Discovered by our breeding and selection team here at Plant World, this hybrid astrantia has the largest and most impressive flower heads we have ever seen! The name 'Supernova' is inspired by the huge maroon, dome shaped flower heads, surrounded by green-tipped bracts, that look almost like a red sun ready to explode. Also boasting a compact, vigorous, and dense habit, we believe this one will be a prize winner in years to come! Unfortunately we have been able to collect just a limited number of fertile seeds, and some of these may vary, but they are absolutely exclusive to our website. This one really is first-come-first-served!

Sowing Advice

Sow immediately at any time onto preferably a soil-based compost, covering with fine grit to approximately their own depth. Germination MAY be quicker if kept at 15 to 20 degrees C. but many seeds WILL NOT come up the year they are sown, needing winter chilling after sowing, and ONLY come up with natural spring germination.
