Astrantia major 'Primadonna' - 2026

Astrantia major 'Primadonna' is an elegant perennial featuring soft pink star-shaped flower umbels that rise above a compact mound of finely divided green foliage. Blooming from late spring to midsummer, its delicate flowers provide a refined and attractive accent in borders, cottage gardens, or shaded woodland areas. The gentle pink tones attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, enhancing garden biodiversity while offering long-lasting visual interest. Its combination of graceful blooms and textured foliage makes it a versatile and appealing choice for shaded garden plantings.

Thriving in moist, humus-rich soils, Astrantia major 'Primadonna' 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 ecological benefits make it a reliable addition to perennial borders or mixed shade plantings.
