Masterwort

Masterwort 'Star of Love' is one of those rare treasures that can fully brighten up even slightly shaded places under trees. In nature, it commonly grows in bright clearings, forest edges, and moister meadow stands of Europe, which clearly hints at what suits it. It likes well-drained but nutrient-rich loamy soil that retains moisture. Although it prefers partial shade, it can handle full sun without difficulty; only in such a case will it need more regular watering. You will receive a healthy and strong seedling in a pot from us, which just needs to be planted in its permanent place in the flower bed. You don't have to worry about tedious care; masterwort is an extremely resilient long-lived perennial. Frost down to minus thirty-three degrees will not surprise it at all, and even complete beginners can easily grow it. Only in spring do we recommend watching out for slugs, which occasionally like to feast on its sprouting leaves. The 'Star of Love' variety lives up to its name and stands out with the striking burgundy coloring of its flowers, which bring joy all summer from June to the end of August. They grow on sturdy stems without the need for any support and form dense green clumps reaching a height of roughly sixty centimeters. The flower itself is composed of a delicate central umbel protected by prominent bracts, giving the whole plant a unique look. These burgundy flowers will not escape the attention of pollinators and happily attract bees from the wide surroundings. From a garden use perspective, it is an ideal filler plant for mixed perennial beds, where it introduces an interesting structure when planted at about seven pieces per square meter. Furthermore, it is an absolute hit for lovers of cut flowers. In a vase as part of bouquets, it looks exceptionally delicate and will continue to bring joy for many days. It is also perfectly suited for drying for various floristry ideas. And you can even use its flowers to decorate desserts.
