Astrantia major Sparkling Stars White forms an upright clump of deeply divided mid-green leaves. Branched, wiry stems carry compact silvery-white flower heads surrounded by white bracts from June through August.
Give it moist, fertile, humus-rich soil in full sun or partial shade. It fits cottage borders, wildlife gardens, and cut-flower plantings, while its nectar and pollen support bees and other pollinating insects. Remove spent flower heads before seed ripens to limit self-seeding.
