Astrantia Major Hybrid Rosensinfonie. Masterwort is the creation of the German breeding program & was created in 1982. They have created a very hardy long flowering hybrid. This plant is an upright herbaceous clump forming perennial with mid green, deep-lobed leaves. The flowers have a bit of a metallic sheen to them. It prefers a damp partially shaded area the most. in the summer the erect branching stems produce umbles of small dark pink flowers that are surrounded by lance-shaped pink bracts. This plant does well when sheltered from heavy wind. It does attract butterflies & bees. They also are great for cut flowers or dried flowers. Resistant to deer & rabbit. It may self seed, but will not produce flowers true to type. Prune flower stems when they turn brown to bring a second flush of flowers. Deadhead before seeds are ripe to eliminate self seeding. in the spring it is advisable to divide the plants. They don’t like to be disturbed & it may take a little time for it to reestablish in its new home.

All seed are NOT alike! There are so many different factors in germination & not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening & you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right! SEED GERMINATION TIP ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME. DON’T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS in A BARREL. Good Luck & Happy Planting Astrantia Major - Hybr. Rosensinfonie Seed
