Astrantia (Masterworts)

Astrantia, commonly known as masterworts, brings delicate beauty to UK gardens. Its star-shaped flowers provide nectar for pollinators like bees and hoverflies. The plant blooms from early summer to autumn, offering a long-lasting food source.

Astrantia thrives in partial shade and moist soil, making it ideal for woodland edges or damp borders. Its seedheads attract birds in late autumn and winter. The plant supports biodiversity while adding structure to planting schemes. Astrantia varieties range from pale pinks to deep burgundy tones.
