Astrantia 'Star of Beauty' ®

Non stop flowering, unique colour!

’Star of Beauty’ is an upright, umbelliferous, stoloniferous, clump-forming masterwort that typically grows to 24-30” (60 to 75 cm) tall. Pincushion-like umbels of white and purple flowers are subtended by showy ruffs of papery, petal-like, two-toned bracts with white centers and grayish-purple tips. Bracts usually remain attractive well after bloom.

Bloom season:
Flowers bloom from late spring to early summer on stems rising well above the basal clump of foliage.

Size:
Foliage height 45 cm
Flower height 60-75 cm.

Location:
Full sun to partial shade.

Culture:
Best grown in organically rich, medium to wet, well-drained soils in part shade. Soils must be kept uniformly moist and not allowed to dry out. Best performance occurs in cool summer climates where night temperatures consistently dip below 20C degrees. In optimum growing conditions, plants may spread by stolons. ’Star of Beauty’ reportedly does not come true from seed.
