The astrantia is one of my favourite herbaceous plants. It is a European native although its name comes from the Greek meaning star, referring to the star-like shape of the flower heads. Its common name is masterwort, although it has also been affectionately known as Hattie’s pincushion and melancholy gentleman. They are clump forming perennials with unusual pincushion flowerheads that provide summer colour in shades of red, pink and white. They also make excellent cut flowers. Here is a short guide on how to grow astrantias and some of my favourite varieties.
