Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This astrantia has large white pincushion flowers surrounded by a white ruff. Foliage is dark green and deeply lobed. The dried flowerheads can be used in arrangements or left on the plant to provide interest into autumn. Astrantia are long-blooming plants great for sun to part shade.

Slightly reminiscent of a refined Queen Ann's Lace, large greenish white domed flowers reside atop a stiff spidery ruff of green-tinged white bracts, while riding wiry stems and palmately cut, dark green toothed leaves. Coveted by butterflies, floral designers and horticulturists, 'White Giant' emphasizes long lasting blooms with mesmerizing detail and a lovely enduring presence that can be sprinkled amid Sesleria 'Greenlee', Geranium 'Havana Blues' and Aster 'October Skies' for natural panache.
