Astrantia 'Star of Love' (Masterwort)

Astrantia ‘Star of Love’ (Masterwort) Bring bold, romantic color to the garden with this richly toned Astrantia. ‘Star of Love’ produces striking pincushion-like blooms in deep ruby-red, surrounded by darker bracts that enhance its velvety, dramatic look. The intricate flowers are held on wiry stems above a tidy mound of finely cut, medium-green foliage, giving the plant a light, airy presence despite its rich color. Blooming steadily through summer, this clump-forming perennial adds depth and texture to borders, especially in part-shade settings. It pairs beautifully with softer tones and foliage plants like ferns and hostas for a layered, natural effect. Astrantia thrives in cool conditions with consistent moisture and rewards gardeners with long-lasting blooms that are excellent for cutting. Its nectar-rich flowers are highly attractive to bees and other pollinators.
