The Plants

Astrantia major 'Roma'

masterwort

£10.00

Delicate, papery, soft pink flowers which are held on wiry stems above attractive deeply lobed, mid-green leaves. This delightful masterwort is a vigorous variety with a much longer flowering period than most astrantias. A favourite amongst florists for both fresh and dried flower arrangements and is ideal for a cottage garden.
