Hi Gene,
The astrantia I have in bloom now is Hadspen, I think. It isn't
really a bright red, but rather dusky. I planted it in the fall last year,
so this is the first I've seen it bloom. It's an interesting looking flower,
isn't it? I just planted an astrantia called Claret as well. They are both
in partial shade but high light. The Hadspen is in a border along a fence
with daylilies, geraniums, and the like. The Claret is in an island bed
with heucheras and azaleas and gentians.

Hello Susan,
Which cultivar of the Astrantia do you have in bloom? How long have you
grown
them in your garden? Are you doing the cut flower thing with them...
experience?
do they give you second flushes of bloom after a deadheading? What are you
using
as companion plants? (so many questions) Do not know exactly why, but I find
these
odd flowers quite fascinating. My first year with A. "Shaggy", "Hadspen
Blood",
"Ruby Wedding", "Sunningdale Variegated" and the species.
