Astrantias are superb perennials for under trees, on a streambank or in a moist border. They will tolerate drier soils as long as the plants are mulched. 'Ruby Wedding' is a beautiful variety with ruby-red pincushion flowers on maroon stems. After flowering plants can be rejuvenated by cutting them back close to the ground - fresh new foliage and a late crop of flowers start appearing shortly after. Plants do not spread far but are well known for self seeding.
