Astrantia come in a range of subtle colours. White astrantia come flushed with silver or green or pink that helps them combine so beautifully with showier plants, not least other purer whites.
They’ll tolerate sun but thrive in shade. Long flowering, they make an invaluable source of pollen and nectar, not to mention beautiful cut flowers. Paired here with white geraniums and white umbellifers.
