Astrantia major
The 'Alba' masterwort is a charming and undemanding perennial that will bring a piece of wild nature to any garden with its delicate, pure white flowers. In its natural environment, it grows in moist mountain meadows and light deciduous forests, so it will thrive best here in partial shade or full sun, provided you give it sufficiently moist and humus-rich loamy soil. From the mature potted seedling you receive, a nice clump with palmately lobed green leaves will grow relatively quickly, reaching a height of sixty to eighty centimeters. The plant does not need any support and handles even stronger frosts without difficulty. Moreover, it doesn't suffer from diseases; you just need to keep an eye out for slugs occasionally, as they like to snack on it. It looks exceptionally delicate in the garden and perfectly complements other moisture-loving plants. Its tiny umbel-like flowers, decorated around the perimeter with toothed bracts with translucent green, appear from June to September and reliably attract bees and other pollinators. The upright branched stems are perfect for cutting into fresh bouquets, where they will delight you with their long vase life. In a vase, the flowers stay beautiful for a good ten to fourteen days. They are also excellent for drying and other floristic uses because they hold their shape well. The 'Alba' cultivar stands out precisely for its radiant, pure white shade, which will brighten up even lightly shaded corners of your garden, and its care can be easily managed by complete beginners.
