Summer to Autumn


  • Astrantia Rubra, or Masterwort, is a perennial that stands out, cherished for its clusters of deep ruby-red, pincushion-like blooms. Each flower is framed by delicate, papery bracts. This vibrant hue injects both richness and a sense of drama into garden designs, especially in areas where sunlight is scarce.

  • Blooming from early summer to late summer, this particular variety provides enduring colour and texture, a welcome sight when many shade-tolerant plants are flourishing. The flowers float gracefully above the leaves, a delicate touch that complements borders and more relaxed planting schemes.

  • Astrantia Rubra is still a looker, even when it's not in bloom. Its finely cut green leaves offer structure and visual appeal all season long. Supplied as a bare root, it's ready to go straight into your garden beds and borders. It's a good choice for cottage gardens, woodland areas, and even as a cut flower for arrangements.
