Astrantia major 'Snow Star' - 2026

Astrantia major 'Snow Star' is an elegant perennial featuring pure white, star-shaped flower umbels that rise above a mound of finely divided green foliage. Blooming from late spring to midsummer, its crisp white flowers provide a striking and refined accent in borders, cottage gardens, or shaded woodland areas. The bright white tones attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, enhancing biodiversity while offering long-lasting visual appeal. Its combination of delicate blooms and textured foliage makes it a versatile and charming addition to shaded garden spaces.

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