Astrantia major finds ideal growing conditions in partially shaded locations, or sunny locations if the soil is sufficiently moist. On loose, humus-rich soils, it forms a healthy, vigorous clump with its decoratively divided, summer-green foliage and stable flower shoots. From June onwards, this gives the bed an exceptionally beautiful flowering in terms of shape and colour nuances, which is invaluable as an insect magnet and as a cut flower supplier. A very beautiful pink-flowering variety by the internationally renowned garden designer and gardener Piet Oudolf.
