Astrantia major ‘Sunningdale Variegated’
Variegated Masterwort |
USDA Zone: 3-9 |
Plant number: 1.088.340
Masterwort is highly regarded by floral designers for the unique umbels of starry flowers, a bit like a refined Queen-Anne's-Lace in effect, but not at all weedy in habit. This unique selection is grown more for the stunning green and creamy-white variegated leaves. Flowers are greenish-white, with a flush of pink. Excellent filler plant for a moist area in sun or part shade. Also nice in mixed containers or tubs. Flowers may be cut fresh, or dried for winter arrangements. Easily divided in early spring. Remove faded flowers to prevent plants from self seeding all over.
