Plant description
Holding a prestigeous Award of Garden Merit by the RHS, 'Burgundy Manor' is a strong-growing masterwort, that produces an abundance of rich burgundy coloured summer flowerheads, each laced with hints of softer pink and greenish white. Attractive to pollinating insects and good for cutting, it's also ideal for adding a bit of oomph to the colour scheme in the border.

How to care for Astrantia Burgundy Manor:
Incorporate plenty of organic matter when planting and water well in dry weather, especially newly established plants. Lift and divide large clumps in early spring and apply a generous 5-7cm mulch of well-rotted manure or garden compost around the plant. Divided specimens may take some time to establish since they don't like having their roots disturbed.
Please note:
This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
