Astrantia major
‘Lars’
at Digging Dog
Masterwort
According to Smith’s Exotic
Botany of 1805, “The more refined admirers of
Nature” rate Astrantia among their favorite blossoms. The flowers bloom like tiny enchanting fireworks: a
star burst of bracts surround the spray of small
flowers and splashy groups of buds shoot out from
branched stems like the finale on the Fourth of July.
If a natural look is what you’re after, plant
Masterworts near a shady patio or path where you can
enjoy their detail. This is an ideal flower for
arrangements, fresh or dried. Astrantia major ‘Lars’ 
Slender yet sturdy, the erect stems host a bouquet of delicate domelike flowers cradled by upturned bracts in dusky cherry-pink shades. Complementing luxuriant, palmately lobed, basal foliage, the intricate blossoms offer color for months as they bloom again in the fall. A superior Scandinavian
cultivar, ‘Lars’ imparts a sophisticated flair
to any garden niche that’s bathed in dappled light.
Blooms June–early October. Size: 2'–2-1/2' high x 15"–18" wide; hardy to zone 5. Astrantia major Lars (P-1090)
