Astrantia major, the great masterwort, is a herbaceous perennial, much used in gardens. The flowers are numerous in red shades. The flowering period extends from June through September. The plant also produces an essential oil that is sometimes used in herbal medicines.
Type: Hardy perennial
Hardiness zones: 5-7
Height: 30", 75cm
Location: Sun
Seeds per packet: 15
Sow just under the surface of the soil and water in. Leave them at room temperature for 4 weeks. This helps break the phytohormones which inhibit germination. They will not grow yet. Then a cooling period is required. Cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 6 weeks. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold stratification period they are then brought back to a cool room (15-18°C, 59-68°F) for them to germinate. Germination can be erratic, generally 30-90 days after the warming period, though some can take longer.
