Astrantia major 'Ruby Wedding' - 2026

Astrantia major 'Ruby Wedding' is a beautiful perennial featuring deep ruby-red, star-shaped flower umbels that rise gracefully above a mound of finely divided green foliage. Blooming from late spring to midsummer, its vivid flowers create a striking focal point in borders, cottage gardens, or shaded woodland areas. The rich red tones attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, enhancing garden biodiversity while providing long-lasting visual appeal. Its combination of dramatic blooms and textured foliage makes it a standout choice for adding colour and structure to shaded garden spaces.

Thriving in moist, humus-rich soils, Astrantia major 'Ruby Wedding' 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 nature make it a reliable and attractive addition to perennial borders or mixed shade plantings.
