Growing & Maintenance Tips for Astrantia major 'Star of Fire'

Astrantia grows best in a rich, heavy soil, some shade and plenty of moisture. Will tolerate full sun if consistent moisture is provided. Foliage remains lush and flowers more prolific with partial shade. Deadheading encourages a longer bloom time.
