Astrantia major 'Claret' (Ships in Spring)

Masterwort

Astrantia ‘Claret’ is a compact perennial valued for its deep wine‑red, pincushion‑style blooms that appear from early to mid‑summer. The rich ruby flowers rise above fresh green, deeply cut foliage, adding refined color and texture to shaded or partially shaded gardens. Thriving in part shade to full sun, ‘Claret’ prefers moist, well‑drained soil and benefits from steady watering. Naturally deer‑ and rabbit‑resistant and hardy in zones 4–7, it’s a reliable choice for woodland borders, mixed plantings, and lightly shaded landscapes, offering long‑lasting seasonal interest.

Growing and Maintenance Tips for Astrantia major 'Claret' (Ships in Spring)

Planting: Set bare-root divisions 2 to 3 inches deep, ensuring the crown is just below the soil surface. Best planted in spring or fall, preferring cool, moist conditions.
Location: Thrives in partial shade, though it can tolerate full sun with ample moisture.
Soil: Requires rich, well-drained soil with plenty of organic matter.
Watering: Keep soil consistently moist; drought can cause stress and reduced flowering.

Fertilization: Apply organic compost or balanced fertilizer in early spring to support strong blooms.
Pruning: Cut back spent flowers to encourage reblooming; trim foliage in late winter before new growth emerges.
Propagation: Divide clumps every three to four years in early spring or fall.
Pest & Disease: Generally pest-free, though slugs and aphids may occasionally appear. Avoid excessive moisture to prevent fungal issues.
