Astrantia major 'Claret'
Best perennial for gardeners seeking vibrant, long-lasting color in moist borders.
These deep, reddish-purple blooms bring a sophisticated, moody texture to borders that most perennials simply can't match. While they demand consistently moist soil to truly thrive, the payoff is a reliable, long-lasting display that looks just as striking in a vase as it does in the garden.
