How to care for Astrantia Moulin Rouge (PBR):
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.
