Astrantia maj. Venice 2 Litre Pot

Astrantia major 'Venice' is a stunning herbaceous perennial prized for its deep crimson-red, pincushion-like flowers and attractive dark green foliage. A favourite among gardeners, it brings colour, texture, and elegance to borders, cottage gardens, and wildlife-friendly planting schemes.

Key Features:

• Flowers: Deep ruby-red blooms with a starry, pincushion-like centre surrounded by a collar of delicate bracts. Blooms from early summer to autumn (June to September).
• Foliage: Attractive, deeply lobed, dark green leaves that provide texture and contrast.
• Height & Spread: Grows to around 60cm tall with a spread of 45cm.
• Wildlife Benefits: Highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.

Prefers partial shade, though it can tolerate full sun in moist soils. Ideal for borders, woodland gardens, and cottage-style planting. Thrives in moist, well-drained, humus-rich soil. Best in loam, chalk, or clay with a neutral to slightly acidic. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage repeat blooming. Cut back foliage in late autumn after flowering. Divide clumps every 3-4 years in early spring to maintain vigour.
