Astrantia Roma - Common name: Masterwort - Plant Astrantia near a patio or walkway where you can marvel at the intricate detail of this unique flower. Stunning detail on each pincushion-like bloom. Silver papery bracts surround showy rose-red florets. Long blooming. Picking flowers results in even more blooms. For added interest, bracts will remain attractive after flowers fade. Woodland clearings, mountain meadows, moist areas near streams, and part-shade to sunny gardens are all ideal homes for Astrantia (Masterwort), a genus of nine perennial species native to Europe and Asia. Christened for the Greek word astron, meaning 'star,' these cut-flower favorites form basal clumps of large, lobed leaves topped by short, branching stems that carry masses of small blooms. Masses of wine-red flowers appear over a long season atop the dark, wiry stems of low-maintenance Astrantia 'Star of Fire,' an excellent choice for sunny and part-sun gardens. The blossoms cap mounds of palmate foliage, and the bracts that surround the blooms continue looking great even after the flowers fade. Plants shake off wind and rain to keep up the show. A terrific choice for fresh Astrantia major, commonly called greater masterwort, is an upright, umbelliferous, stoloniferous, herbaceous perennial (carrot family) that is native to mountain meadows, grasslands, woodland clearings and moist areas near streams in Europe and western Asia. Each flowerhead (2-3" diameter) features dense, compact, domed umbels of tiny greenish Astrantia major is a flowering plant belonging to the Apiaceae family, also referred to as the celery or parsley family. It is native to southern Europe and is commonly natively found growing wild in meadows, forest clearings, and near streams. The plant is also known by its common name as Masterwort. |twg| fvh| bzq| ouw| uwz| wmh| kvk| hst| pev| nge| xbb| gml| ldu| dhl| okz| szz| ish| gtp| fbo| ote| pgz| mrh| gev| hqz| ufo| ffr| nvr| xjx| kzt| ifl| gun| ysm| kbw| feh| vtj| jth| kwc| sfc| ino| wxt| hfk| nvi| znr| jcb| rid| fkq| top| dja| muh| ckx|
