Astrantia major 'Shaggy' - 2026

Astrantia major 'Shaggy' is a charming perennial featuring white star-shaped flower umbels with a slightly frilled appearance that rise above a mound of finely divided green foliage. Blooming from late spring to midsummer, its delicate flowers provide a gentle, textured accent in borders, cottage gardens, or shaded woodland areas. The pure white tones attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, enhancing biodiversity while offering long-lasting visual appeal. Its combination of intricate blooms and lush foliage makes it a versatile and attractive choice for shaded garden spaces.

Thriving in moist, humus-rich soils, Astrantia major 'Shaggy' 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 prolong flowering and may self-seed in suitable conditions. Its ornamental charm and pollinator-friendly blooms make it a reliable addition to perennial borders or mixed shade plantings.
