Astrantia 'Hadspen Blood'
masterwort
Add a bit of oomph to the borders with this sumptuously coloured masterwort. 'Hadspen Blood' produces umbels of dark reddish-purple flowers, each surrounded by a ruff of similarly coloured, long lasting bracts, throughout the summer - or even longer if deadheaded regularly.
How to care for Astrantia Hadspen Blood:
Incorporate plenty of organic matter when planting and water well in dry weather, especially newly established plants.
Lift and divide large clumps in early spring and apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted manure or garden compost around the plant. Divided specimens may take some time to establish since they don't like having their roots disturbed.
Astrantia thrive in consistently moist soils and perform best in cool, partially shaded summer conditions.
