A classic cottage garden flower, this astrantia has large white and green pincushion flowers surrounded by a white ruff. Foliage is dark green and deeply lobed. It does best on a moist soil. The dried flowerheads can be used in arrangements or left on the plant to provide interest through into autumn.
