'Roma' is one of the best varieties and comes with an RHS Award of Garden Merit for its garden performance. The flowers last from June to September and won't self-seed as this variety is completely sterile. Height: 90cm (35in) and Spread: 45cm (18in). Plant at the earliest opportunity following delivery in fertile, moist, well-drained soil, and situated in full sun or semi shade. Although varieties of Astrantia major are more tolerant of drier conditions than many of their cousins, this hardy perennial will prefer a soil that is rich in organic matter. Add plenty of well-rotted manure or garden compost to the soil prior to planting. Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only. Supplied as 3 x Astrantia major 'Roma' 9cm potted plants. Flowering period: June to August. Images shown are for guidance only of the expected results from plants upon maturity. Different growing conditions might vary results. Image may be included for illustration of supply but can vary due to seasonality changes (e.g. deciduous plants lose leaves in colder months).
