Astrantia major 'Moulin Rouge' - 2026

Astrantia major 'Moulin Rouge' is a striking perennial known for its deep, velvety red, star-shaped flower umbels that rise elegantly above a compact mound of finely divided green foliage. Blooming from late spring to midsummer, its vibrant flowers provide a bold and dramatic accent in borders, cottage gardens, or shaded woodland areas. The rich red tones attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, enhancing biodiversity while offering long-lasting visual interest. Its combination of vivid blooms and textured foliage makes it a standout feature in any shaded garden planting.

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