Astrantia major ‘Hadspen Blood’ 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 ‘Hadspen Blood’
Introduced by Nori Pope of the renowned Hadspen House in England, the flowers of ‘Hadspen Blood’ are one of the darkest of all the red cultivars. An abundance of deep carmine blooms shine like rubies before richly colored
Persicaria ‘Red Dragon’.
Blooms mid-June–September. Size: 2' high x 18" wide; hardy to zone 5. Astrantia major Hadspen Blood (p-0825) SOLD OUT!
