Masterwort

Overview

Astrantia major, commonly known as Masterwort, thrives in partial shade, appreciating moist, fertile soil. This perennial displays intricate, pincushion-like blooms, typically white or pink, set against palmate, dark green leaves. Flowering from June to August, it reaches 1.5 to 2.5 feet in height, with a similar spread. It’s ideal for border plantings and woodland gardens, attracting pollinators while resisting deer. Zones 4 to 7 ensure successful growth in varied climates.
