Astrantia
Astrantia major
Plant Details:
Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Apiaceae
Plant Description: A mounding perennial with lobed green leaves topped with white flowers that look like clusters of tiny flowers in a spiky cup. Florists use Astrantia as a cut flower in arrangements, or dried for winter use. Easily divided in early spring. Remove spent flowers to promote re-bloom and prevent self seeding.
Maintenance:
Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
