From early summer, the striking flowers appear on long, sturdy stems that stand proudly above the fresh green foliage. The flowers consist of countless small florets, surrounded by decorative, star-shaped bracts that give the plant its distinctive appearance.

The flowers remain beautiful in a vase for a long time and are also popular in natural field bouquets and romantic floral arrangements. In addition, the nectar- and pollen-rich flowers attract plenty of bees, bumblebees, and butterflies, making this perennial a valuable contribution to a biodiverse and insect-friendly garden design.

Plant Astrantia major 'Sparkling Stars Pink' (PBR) in a sunny to semi-shady location in well-drained, humus-rich soil. This hardy perennial reliably returns every year and provides an elegant, colorful, and vibrant border season after season.
