Description
Astrantia 'Burgundy Manor'
Height x Spread: 75cm x 45cm
Large and very beautiful dark red flowers with centres like pincushions, are held on reddish black stems high above the deep green foliage. In full bloom in mid summer, this strong variety will establish itself quickly and repeat flower.
It looks fabulous combined with white and pink forms of Astrantia, but for a more striking contrast try lime greens and oranges. This particular form was a seedling found in plantswoman Gill Richardson's garden and named after her farm.
