Overview

This enchanting perennial showcases a profusion of delicate, pincushion-like blooms that emerge in abundance throughout the growing season. Astrantia major 'Star of Billion' features large clusters of tiny white flowers crowded atop branching stems, each surrounded by an elegant ruff of white, strap-shaped bracts tipped with green.

Originally developed for the cut flower market, this cultivar boasts exceptional floriferous qualities and vigour. The flowers transition from pale green to pinky-white, eventually fading to pure white, creating a dynamic display against the backdrop of deeply-cut, dark green palmate foliage.

This bee-friendly cultivar adds a long-lasting frothy textural interest to borders, cottage gardens, and naturalistic plantings, while also excelling as a cut flower for both fresh and dried arrangements.

Care guide

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.
