Astrantia Sunningdale Variegated

A bare root plant is shipped in a dormant state without soil around its roots. This allows the plant to establish itself directly into your garden soil, often resulting in faster growth once the growing season begins.

This variety thrives in partial sun, meaning it prefers dappled light or morning sun with afternoon shade. It is an excellent choice for woodland settings where it can avoid the harsh, direct intensity of midday sun.

Astrantia 'Sunningdale Variegated' is a hardy perennial suitable for USDA Zones 4-7. As long as you are within these zones, the plant is designed to go dormant in the winter and return each spring.

You should plant the crown of the bare root approximately 1/2 inch below the soil line. Planting too deep can hinder growth, while planting too shallow may expose the roots to drying out.

Yes, Astrantia makes an excellent cut flower. Their unique, creamy-white blossoms with ruby hearts add elegant texture and color to bouquets, and they hold up well once cut.

Maintenance is relatively low, provided you keep the soil consistently moist. Because they thrive in damp conditions, they are perfect for areas of the garden that naturally retain water.
