Astrantias are superb perennials for growing under trees, on a stream bank or in a moist border. They prefer moist soils but will tolerate drier conditions as long as the plants are mulched. Astrantia major 'Gill Richardson' is a gorgeous variety with large, cherry red flowers.
After flowering, astrantias can be rejuvenated by cutting them back close to the ground – fresh new foliage and a late crop of flowers appear shortly after. Astrantias don't spread far but are well known for self-seeding.
