Astrantia major 'Florence' - 2026

Astrantia major 'Florence' is a charming perennial featuring soft pink, star-shaped flower umbels that rise gracefully above a mound of finely divided green foliage. Blooming from late spring to midsummer, its delicate, airy flowers provide an elegant vertical accent in borders, cottage gardens, or shaded woodland areas. The gentle pink tones add subtle colour and texture to shaded plantings, while attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies, enhancing biodiversity. Its combination of soft flowers and attractive foliage makes it a versatile and appealing addition to garden spaces.

Thriving in moist, humus-rich soils, Astrantia major 'Florence' prefers partial to full shade and performs best when the soil is kept consistently damp. Low-maintenance and hardy, it benefits from occasional deadheading to encourage prolonged flowering. Its ornamental charm and pollinator-friendly blooms make it an excellent choice for shaded borders or mixed perennial plantings.
